April 21, 2015 - white peaches and golden apples fill the nose, big, white fruit, golden raisins, apricots and kiwi fruit on the palate, soft with rounded fruit, considerably sweet vintage, delicious and drinkable right now

September 12, 2014 - Mismash of hasty impressions from Winebow and Regal Portfolio Tastings (NYC): Big fruit from the 2012 vintage. 2013 will be more citrus fruitlike. Delish!

July 4, 2014 - Front half of a July 4th Virtual Tasting. Served at cellar temperature. Steely nose, honey, white flowers and cotton candy. Palate is creamy lemon oil, lime and a hint of grapefruit, off dry, acidity pops in and grows. Turns mouth puckering as the fine tannins set in. Long tart finish. Very enjoyable. Bargain @ $18.99. Thanks to my Old World counterpart for the suggestion.
