Nicely aged, on its way downhill, with diminishing fruit; probably a handful of years left. Medium-high acidity, and thus a great pairing with fatty dishes. 90-91

Clean and herbal on the nose with wonderfully restrained oak that provides an excellent flinty structure and a subtle touch of toffee vanilla in the mid-palate. Tropical and orchard fruit weave in and out and linger on the long clean finish. Very good value made in a modern yet very Burgundian style. Is at it's richest on day two.

Flavors come out best when serving this white not very chilled. For some reason the last two bottles have paled in comparison to how this tasted at the Memorial Day release tasting. Perhaps it's entering a dumb phase? Seems to have been made for short-term consumption though. 87-88 points

No notes and been a few days. Best thing about the wine was the lovely, complex nose of tropical fruits, apple and oak. Mid-palate is a bit less exciting - nicely balanced, but lacking intensity and depth. Medium weight with a silky texture and good acidity. Definitely not a fruit or butter bomb.
