December 10, 2023 - Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Same bottle as Bellissimo, see his notes for more details. I founds this delightful; rich and full bodied, stone fruits, round and balanced with complimentary spice notes. 93+pts.
December 10, 2023 - Brought to a large gathering, shared with friends over dinner and conversation. Forgot my notes at the venue :(
Served very chilled, warmed up and followed over 30+ minutes. Lots of tropical fruits (guava, papaya), peaches, honeysuckle and even some almond paste. Nice intensity of fruit, good balance with the acids. This is not a shy wine but again its not shouty. VERY impressive.
November 3, 2023 - Just about perfect. Still drinking well.
October 27, 2023 - Very similar notes as previous tastings and still drinking very well. Citrus, peaches, pear, nuts, floral and some caramel in the nose with peaches, melons and some tropical fruits in the flavor. Nice acidity, well balanced, complex, medium to full bodied and a long finish. Delicious!
April 5, 2023 - Great btl and finished 1month later after a Coravin.
February 21, 2023 - Delicious, deep and intense. Notes of tertiary caramel creeping in to the ripe full bodied yet restrained palate that has plenty of freshness to balance it's power. Ripe yellow and white peach, wonderful unctuous mouth full. Long with some complexity. Drink up unless you like tertiary caramel notes.
February 3, 2023 - Heat damage 😂
January 30, 2023 - Not the best bottle. Color more hay like. Still enjoyable and as always got better in the glass over the hour we dined.
November 28, 2022 - PnP. Medium deep gold with some greenish highlights. Intense pineapple on the nose, unctuous on the palate with some oak and alcohol on the finish. A bit one-dimensional and perhaps a little long in the tooth. This could improve with air and fool me though...
November 25, 2022 - Dark gold color. Deep, complex nose filled with butter and melons. Wine was deep and high quality. Really enjoyed it.
