February 20, 2021 - Overly oxidized. We'll see how it does as a mulled wine.

February 11, 2021 - Golden. Looking old. Bruised apple, straw, herbal. Not undrinkable but far from exciting. For collectors of age white Bordeaux. Reasonable length but touch of Chartreuse like herbal notes which I think is an acquired taste. Decent length and acidity though! Quite good for using in salad dressings...

Medium body with palate of apples with some spice
Medium length with medium(+) acidity
Obviously past its prime drinking window but remains enjoyable1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 15, 2018 - Medium gold. Medium(+) aromas of baked apple/ bruised peach with an oxidized character. Medium palate of feet apples and nuts - less intense than aromas would suggest. Nice finish with medium(+) acidity. Past its prime drinking window but this remains quite enjoyable.
