Clear deep gold hue, moderately ripe aroma, not as dry as expected. Fresh with vanilla and citrus flavours. Medium to full body, faintly woody and smokey. Well balanced. Astonishingly long finish, very complex palate. Still good for a while yet - what a shame it was the last bottle.

Light golden/green color. Excellent and promising nose, blending the oak with ripe peaches and a pat of butter. The taste is in line, but even better. Some may not like this much oak, but i think it's integrated well here. At $20, you can almost make this an everyday wine - and I might. I hear the Sauv Blanc is even better. Can't wait to try that.

Still nice, but a bit puckering tonight. Lychee nuts and butter with mellow oak - enjoyable.

Too much oak and little balance.
