This is past its prime and has lost some of its punch. Aroma - a bit mineral, soft peach or tropical fruit. Taste - tart, guava, mineral, some butter (new oak).

Salininty and orange peel on the palate. There was something here that I just couldn't put my finger on until I realized that it smelled like capers of all things! Pale gold. Some candied fruits. Stone fruits. Sea salt and citrus. Modest length on the finish. On Day 2 - some grassiness.

Intriguing bottle... Nose had clear grapefruit aromas to me, palate was funky, almost gym sock/locker room-esque. But in an interesting way... Will tase this again the next day to see if the impression holds.

There is some serious PUCKER on the backend of this wine. Nose has some green grass, a little funkiness and maybe some kiwi. Green apple covered with lemon/lime and all other citruses. Even a little Sour Patch Kids. A bit of minerality keeps this from going over the edge. Fantastic finish for a wine of this price. Even better on Day 2. Nose is really beautiful and the finish has even stretched out farther.

Smells like SB to me. The palate is very mineral at this point and the fruit is dropping off. Time to switch to 2008!
