  Showing surprisingly well. Full bodied, tropical fruits on the nose, a little heat on the finish. Oaky flavors of vanilla, honey, ripe stone fruit and pineapple. Very easy to like.

  Old note - remember this being underwhelming and overpriced

  Much better than the last bottle, the wine looks youthful (surprisingly) straw in color, nose of reductive fruit and vegetables blew of into a honey laden mix of ripe stone fruit and orange blossom. The wine is full bodied, with the fruit acid fading and the sugar starting to show a bit more. Flavors of honeysuckle, white peaches, and vanilla are all in balance. A really well made white, but I'd imagine it all comes down to bottle variance at this point in the wine's life.

  Took the wine a bit of time to open. I also thought that the wine benefited being a bit cooler than normal serving temperature, it seemed to keep the wine a bit more "tight" and in focus.
  
  Notes of honey, dried apricots, and lemon on the nose. Smelled great, a bit oxidized as expected. But for a 9 year old white, I'd say it's trucking along nicely...
  
  In the mouth, the wine has a syrupy feel, very unctuous. Notes of canned peaches and other stone fruits. A bit spicy, nutmeg, vanilla, and oak. Getting a little disjointed and sweet-flabby at the finish. A really nice wine, but I feel that it has been in it's descent for a couple of years now. I would have loved to have had this a few years ago- would have been a stunner for sure.

  Probably held this one too long, fruit was diminished but it still was enjoyed.
