  Consistent with my previous notes. Cork was in perfect shape. Great caramel, green apple flavor with a hint of almond. No fizz! Nice viscosity. My last bottle.

  Squeaky cork that came out with a pop! Juicy unctuous green apple, flowers, and honeysuckle. Sublime viscosity and heft for a white wine. Delicious and in a great place at the moment.

  Beautiful golden color, faint floral nose, on the palate lots of juicy green fruit balanced with acid - a touch of sweetness, again well balanced. Great viscosity. Fantastic! So this should not be confused with a dry wine, but it is also definitely not a dessert wine. Au contraire, this would be great to start a dinner, not just as an aperatif but also with light appetizers or salad. Tonight I'm having it with beef stew. Drinking well, in its prime.
  
  Just as good on day two, if not better. The fruit is still forward, but the acid is more pressing, along with a faint (pleasant) bitter note that was observed by a previous reviewer. No longer sweet.

  Deep gold, hints of green. Nose of ripe pineapple and apricots. Tons of warm apricot, honey, smoke and spiciness. Quite thick and a bit oily. Definitely still carrying some obvious sweetness too. Enough acidity to keep some freshness though not very piercing. Long. Good with wild deer rillettes. PS Far from finished, tons of life ahead.
