  November 1, 2015 - Deep yellow. Tart, and trending a bit to over the hill--not oxidized but the former green apple & citrus, acid &vmineral has become flat and a bit harsh.

  August 12, 2015 - PnP at refrigerator temperature. Presents as a medium-gold color with no obvious sediment. The nose is subtle and complex, with aromas of chalk and ocean spray, a touch of honey-covered sawdust, and a spicy/savory undertone reminiscent of sage and white pepper. It seemed to change a little bit each time we picked up the glass. On the palate, it enters with a slightly woody flavor underscored by honeyed fruit. Medium, well-balanced acid kicks in on the midpalate and accentuates the flavors of sappy wood and herbs. The mouthfeel is very refined: round, smooth, but with a reasonable acidic backbone. It finishes medium(+) with some honey and sappy wood flavors.
  
  It's hard to believe, but this low-priced 2010 offering seems to be drinking at peak right now. If you have one of these in your cellar, it's time to pop the cork! We will call this bottle "excellent," 92/100.

  July 8, 2013 - Medium yellow-gold color. Aromas of ripe pineapple, butterscotch, and baked apple. Palate has slightly overripe pineapple, butterscotch, lemon, and pear notes with some sweet floral finishing elements. This is not long for this window of prime drinking and it is time to get at it. Drink up.

  April 10, 2013 - Golden color. Aromas of honeysuckle, peach, pineapple, and pear. Yellow apple, mango and honeysuckle on the palate lead into a medium-short finish. This picks up butterscotch and lemon notes with time in the glass. The brightness of youth is wearing off and what is left is solid, but this bottle didn't perform to the heights of other vintages at this point in its journey. Drink or hold another year.
