May 16, 2015 - Excellent and continued to open up after a 3 hour decant. Appley opon opening, but fleshed out with mango and red fruit and cinnamon stick. Spicy but clean botrytis and baritone mineral but generally light on its feet. Certainly in a prime drinking window which should continue for another 10 years or so.

December 23, 2012 - Surprisingly young looking wine presenting clear geaming yellow with no tan nor gold yet appearing. Most of the age and development shows in the nose, which had an oily, mature quality to it. But in the mouth, young and vibrant with sweet pineapple dominating the fruit profile. Finished with other hints of where this goes with faint nuts. Probably good for another 20 years.

November 21, 2012 - Delicious. Not overly sweet. Good body and actually worked well with some indian dishes. This wine is still in the market and should be re-loaded at the right price.
