    Light gold color. Drank 2 glasses over 2 hours plus. The nose is yeasty and filled with fresh dough, pear, and with gradually building toast, and stone minerality. The palate is creamy, toasted, yeast, pear and lemon, apple peel, tart apple, roasted nuts. This was even better several hours later. Loved it again. 92+ to 93pts.

    Pale green gold color. The nose has cedarbox, oak, lemon, patisserie, fint, and red apple. The palate shows lemon, peach, oak, tart lemon, young, flint. Still rather young and needs to shed some oak still. Give it at least a year and maybe two.
