  Too many whites in my cellar that I fear are going over the hill. Resolved to try some at home starting with this one. Disconcerting gold/orange color, but not flawed. Not much on the nose. Initial taste was bland. After a half hour palate was greatly improved. No fruit, but nice blend of chalk, crushed stones and popcorn. A nice sipper, but I wouldn't wait much longer.

  Seemed a bit overly oxidized for a 2002. Almond and nut character seemed too prominent. Still drinkable after chilled down, but not overly pleasant.

  Very nice - enjoyed with roasted chicken (put some thyme, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest under the skin) and it was a great pairing. Some pear and other fruits with a just enough wood. The wine has a great smooth mouthfeel. I'll definitely try to get some more of this.

  Consumed on election night with roasted chicken. Bright disc. Light straw robe with clear rim. Clean nose, showing moderately intense aromas of wet stones, honeysuckle and pears. Light to medium-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity and similar flavors as for the nose. The middle thins a bit and the finish is somewhat terse, taking this wine out of the 90+ point range.
