8/11/2013 - birdman5828 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe nose was reticent and the palate started out lemon candy and honeydew melon. As it waemed up it became more complex showing orange fruit with a zip of acidity and lingering lemon on the finish. |

5/30/2013 - birdman5828 wrote: 87 pointsThere is a lot of fruit here and the tannins are softened but bright. I going it a bit out of balance as the oak was a bit too promanent. I also noticed an astringent property. The finish did not have much length. That being said, others at the table enjoyed it. |
