Very different wine from my other bottles back in '14, but this one was forgotten and just turned up in the cellar, so what can you do. Definitely past prime with a rich golden color, veering towards tawny, and oxidative notes abound, although not entirely unenjoyable for me, as there's some added complexity to the apple and saline notes from before. Kinda has an aged white Rioja vibe to it. Certainly better than no bottle of wine in my book. Will reserve scoring here.

This wine is pretty great actually. Nice golden color to it. Aromas of lemon, lime, saline, and fresh herbs. Full bodied with medium acid and finish, and a great mouth feel, and flavors following suit from the nose. While not blowing me away with complexity, it's perfectly balanced and a joy to drink. Perfect with breaded and baked turkey cutlets and garlic sauteed zucchini tonight.

Medium to light yellow color. I'm a little stuffy, but I'm getting aromas of green and yellow apple, pear, and saline. Pretty full body, bright acidity, medium finish, and flavors matching the nose. Good with seafood, chicken, lemony things, etc.

Crisp with a lot of acidity. Not much nose but a nice palate.
