  It's certainly possible that this was good in it's youth, but it's not now. The fruit is gone with no secondary flavors so you just get oak and alcohol.

  Medium to dark yellow with a touch of gold. At initial opening it had a smokey burnt scent and taste which dissipated after about 30 minutes. . Nose also has a nuttiness, honeysuckle and creamy lemon. It seems like it has gone through full Malo. Palate is round with moderate acidity. On the palate there is butterscotch, hazelnuts, crème brûlée, lemon and just a little white peach on the finish. I think this is probably on a gentle downslope going forward. Drink up if you have them as I will with my last bottle.

  This was lovely and as good or slightly better than my previous bottles. Crisp lemon yellow color with a nice nose of lemon curd, vanilla, honeysuckle and minerals. Medium acidity, fairly rich mouth feel and a long finish. Flavors included those in the nose and a touch of sweeter meyer lemon and honey. Really nice and probably at its peak with 6 years in bottle.

  Great acidity highlights the citrus flavors present and combines well with the oak. Nice wine.
