Light yellow, fine bead. Light toast, vanilla and some bitterness on the palate. Excellent creaminess yet still discrete, fantastic back end minerality. This is very good and at a reasonable state of maturity.
Medium yellow, tight bead. Distinctly riper citrus nose. Richer, sweeter style with interesting maraschino cherry fruit. Hard to taste next to lower dosage wines, missing some backbone.
Medium depth of color. Racy, lemony nose. A touch of caramel, but mostly lighter, well focused apple and yeastiness. Dry, finely defined, excellent length. My favorite today.
Greenish yellow tint. Reductive aromas. Medium weight, good mixed fruit, powerful mid-palate, lemony finish. All of this is rendered pretty difficult to assess by a lot of sulfur.
