So....first Christmas dinner wine....and bottle # 2 of this wine, since reviewed over two years ago. On nose: toasted bread, and creamy vanilla/ oak on nose. On palate: both above notes enhanced, with red apple, white floral aspects, and a trace of hazlenuts on a lively medium body, with balanced acidity....aging well at nearly 7 years of age.....served well with a smoked trout appetizer.

Delicious wine that has changed very little. Refreshing, vibrant, linear. Good minerality coupled with lemon notes and some lychee. Just lovely. Case worthy.

Got what I expected. I don't think this will improve anymore. Drink up!

Still vibrant acidity. Lots of lemon and lime notes. Some floral hits as well. Just delicious.
