  Sadly over the hill. Dark amber in color with a surprising amount of dark sediment. Kept in the fridge for a few days to see if perhaps it would come around but alas it never did.

  The color is showing a golden hue hinting at this wine’s 10 years of age. Nose is showing just a little sprinkling of brown sugar over pure citrus. Tasted blind I’m 99% sure I’d have guested a similarly aged Huet chenin blanc. It has that honeyed, waxy pear characteristic. But then also a little smokey gunmetal that I associate with Chard. Palate is full bodied with a very fine almost silky texture. A very tightly integrated beam of acidity runs through it. Impressive length. Richer fruits on the palate. To me, this all comes together beautifully. But I am surprised to see more than 50% of these wines still in people’s cellar (thanks CT!). What are you folks waiting for??? :)

  Deep golden yellow/caramel color.Massive aromas of butterscotch and caramel. A broad, almost oily palate pretty much diminished of fruit. Notes of oxidation and then a beam of bright acidity. This reminds me of the oxidized wines of Nicolas Joly in Savennieres.

  Very enjoyable wine. The nose was tight with smoke, peach and herbal notes. The palate was medium to full bodied but crisp and bright with lemon, pear, peach and a touch of toast. The length of the finish was impressive and clean.
