February 25, 2023 - Butter, caramel, banna, tropical fruit and vanilla. Palate exhibits round and ripe tropical fruit with fatness. The acidity level is moderate for its age.

October 6, 2022 - Unfortunately I got an oxidized bottle. Tastes more like a Lopez de Heredia Reserva Blanco than a Napa Chard. So disappointed.

April 3, 2022 - Popped and poured. This is a magical wine. Beautiful nose of white flowers and orchard fruit. The palate is rich, enveloping, layered and poise. White peach, apples, a little tropical fruit, minerals and toast. Full bodied and long. This has aged well. Fully mature now. I would drink up soon.

December 26, 2021 - Lemon peel, crushed stone, sweet herbs on the nose. Showing little signs of aging, this wine is still wonderfully fresh. Peaches and roasted nuts on the palate.

March 10, 2021 - definitely oxidized nose with a little acetone, and some savory notes under the sweetness. After some aeration, this seemed leaner, a little more alcoholic, and somewhat bitter on the palate. Sweet, buttery notes showed up after about 30 minutes. Still very much alive.
