The other tasting notes get this right. Oxidized but with lots of fruit--peach, sweet citrus, and candied zest. Plenty of bright acidity and a nice weighty mouthfeel. Endless finish on this charming wine.

Even though it's a few years out Isaac's notes still rings true and I won't try to top it. Tons of floral aromas, a bit oxidized, hints of tropical fruit and toffee. The palate matches, definitely oxidized but not in a detracting way with some floral and tropical fruit notes. Light acidity & plenty of minerals add structure.

I quite liked this. It was a bit more oxidized than I expected. I'm not sure if that was a flaw or not, but it worked here. Golden raisins, citrus, and minerals on the palate. Very interesting and enjoyable.

Smells like fresh citrus juice muddled with its zest, fresh and lively but with a bit of custardy richness too. Great acidity and salty stony minerality on the palate, with juicy but nicely restrained stone fruit and pear. Citrus juice and peel, apricot, and stone linger in the finish. No explicit oxidized character, for better or worse. Quite a tart and tasty wine.
