  I picked up a bottle of this today at Centennial on Belt Line for $13 after being marked down 60% because they are closing out the vintage. I read the parker note and saw that there were no recent community notes and saw that the drinking window was supposedly past. I however really am enjoying this. I pooped and poured and it has a real minerality to it with some tropical fruits, specifically pineapple. There is nothing buttery about it. I think that it is a bit muted on the palate but it is very smooth, the acidity has worn down some and it was really nice with our thai food for dinner. I am thinking of going back and buying some more as they had about 8 more bottles left. At $13 i think it is a real winner for serving now.

  Tropical fruit with pineapple, orange marmalade and juidcious oak that complemented and added richness. Drinking great at present.

  Intersting color - light straw and clear. Nose was nice and fruity. Stone fruit perhaps. The slight dissapointment came with the grassy/earthy taste and short finish. Not much there. AT $44 a bottle not a good QPR in my opionion.

  Pale yellow with aromas of pear and cream-full nectar with mild acidity-very round with flavors of pear nectar and vanilla cream-the finish lingers unctuously fruity. This wine is decadent like high pulp pear fat. You can chew on it. Not complex but memorable.
