  Tasted uninspiring out of the bottle with a linear demonstration of honey and citrus.
  
  Leaving it to warm up to room temperature and open up with air unlocked a lot of the more interesting aspects of this wine. Tropical fruits ranging from pineapple to mango burst onto the palate, and a floral sweetness dominates the bouquet.
  
  Enjoyable wine, but I recommend serving at a higher temperature for maximal enjoyment.

  I feared this would be over the hill but was pleased by how enjoyable it was. Beautiful rich golden color. Very little acid but rich flavors (white fruit and melon) gave a surprisingly nice mouthfeel. There is an elegant balance here; delicious. A hint of brown sugar in the finish suggests this should be drunk soon. (PS - PNP, the first glasses poured were best.)

  Flowers, minerals, steel, and pear on the nose. Peach and pear on the palate with medium acidity. Good finish.

  Brown sugar aromas. Smooth wine with citrus undertones. Decent finish. It went well with pizza.
