  April 30, 2020 - Mid straw yellow. This is surprisingly still restrained, with good tension and acidity. Cool apricot flavours mingled with a creamy note. Great balance, and an excellent showing. (incidentally, another bottle opened was bruised apple and not much fun... Drink up!!)

  August 15, 2017 - Getting a bit over the hill, this had a good note of sherry amidst the nectarine and preserved citrus fruit qualities. A bit fat, it lost some of its freshness, but still full of character. Very nice with roast pork, but drink soon.

  December 23, 2015 - Much better than my last bottle. Still faint hints of oxidation, but in this case it was rather attractive, mingling with the white and stone fruits along with some lovely minerality and citrus notes. Fantastically broad middle palate that gives way to very bright acidity and layers of complexity. Finish is a bit short, but also very cleansing. Absolutely brilliant with pork.

  May 15, 2015 - I tried this at a tasting and remember loving it. This bottle was very good but didn't blow my socks off in the same way. Oaky tropical and citrus nose reminiscent of elegant New World Chardonnays, but then some stone fruits, early oxidative qualities, and fresh herbaceousness and bramble work their way in. The palate is more restrained, a bit like a membrillo with half the sugar mixed with apricot jam on a heavily buttered piece of toast. There were bitter herb and green leaf notes scattered amongst the preserved fruits and warmth of the oak, but the pieces occasionally sang out of tune. My optimism for cellaring potential is dashed and I would probably drink these over the next year. Nonetheless, there is plenty going on and it is interesting, if not particularly distinguishable, but certainly not off the deep end.

  September 28, 2014 - Drank 2 bottles of this with Sea bass and salsa verde. Worked very well indeed. Good variety and depth of flavour in the wine and good alternative to sauvignon blanc for this type of dish.
