December 2, 2023 - Fantastic unctuous wine. Very golden yellow, looks like an off Chard!
Decanted for an hour and served at a cool, not cold temperature.
Honey and Orange initial taste with further floral, vanilla and citrus notes.
The complexity and mouth feel make this a sipping white, not one to be rushed!1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 3, 2023 - This was extraordinary tonight with oodles of rich, penetrating stone fruit, baking spice(mostly nutmeg) and subtle floral undertones. The depth, concentration and complexity are noteworthy and the mouthfeel is in the mid weight to full bodied range. What a delight!

December 17, 2022 - Rich notes of orange marmalade, vanillin, faint peach and flowers. Rich and voluptuous on the palate with notes on the nose delivering the same fruit on the palate. Incredible wine of density, medium to large-scaled. Just fantastic!

November 25, 2022 - Smoky nose with a lot of peach.
Very deep mouth, some nuts and peach. It's pure and fresh and the same time, very dense but pure, very good balance and a stony final with beautiful length.
