Medium golden color, nose shows some plush fruit, and hints of sauternes-like botrytis; Rich and round on the palate, shows some age but has good freshness, with enough acidity to provide nice balance. Starting to show some tertiary notes, but on the youthful side of peak. A surprisingly good showing for the tricky 05 vintage.

According to CT, I haven't posted a note on this in a couple years.
Color is a dark gold in the glass; tropical fruits and slate on the nose.
Dry and medium-bodied, with tart white fruits and adequate acidity on the palate. Probably at peak at this point; I honestly don't see a lot of upside here, but this is drinking very well right now.

Gold colored in the glass; great nose with ripe pineapple, white fruit cocktail and a slight petrol nuance.
Acidity nicely frames the sweet & sour fruit; nice finish. Still coming across as youthful, and very likable right now (especially if you like acidity in your whites).

Deeper gold than the Knoll.
This is more balanced on the palate, but solid as opposed to interesting. Not bad.

Golden colored in the glass; minerally nose, with slate and fruit salad notes as well.
Medium-bodied, with tart acidity - I would say this wine is drinking at peak right now, so if you have bit in the cellar, definitely try a bottle.
