October 14, 2022 - Popped and poured. Pretty nose of white flowers with tropical notes. The wine is medium to full bodied, still fairly youthful, chalk full of flavor, reasonable acidity and a long finish. The oak is evident but largely integrated. This is drinking well.

September 16, 2022 - The wine had a deeper golden color with flecks of silver. The nose was robust and developing. The fruits all turned dried with the oak and richness having a strong presence. On the palate, the wine still had vibrancy and wasn’t tired. The mouthfeel was extremely rounded and supple. The finish was a bit hot and lacked subtlety. Overall, the wine was a striking interplay between elegance and robustness.

October 24, 2021 - Popped and poured. Nice cool nose of white flowers, spring cut grass. The wine is medium bodied with good acidity and balance. Crisp apple, lemon, kiwi and brioche come through. Remarkably youthful and performing better than recent 2012s I have had I would drink this over the next couple years
