  Golden-yellow color. Nose is filled with oak and buttery notes. Much of the same on the palate.

  Much improved from a year ago. Medium gold and quite heavy on the legs. I get some baked apple pie and pear skin, crisp citrus and light hazelnut on the nose. Rich body but has some great minerality and acidity to brighten up the palate. Medium-long finish with good balance. I agree with Brig that it's a good match to spicy Asian cuisine. Alcohol is noticeable but not distracting and this should have another few years of good drinking. 4+11+17+8 = 90

  Very light gold, 5% saturated. Light to average intensity nose shows some citrus pear, banana, vanilla, and an occasional tiny whiff of soap . Medium-bodied and refreshingly elevated acidity. Only a sliver of oak notes through a medium length finish. The highlight of this for me is a great minerality I sense throughout the whole palate. A natural match to shellfish (4+10+16+8) = 88
