November 24, 2009 - Haven't had this wine in a while (my notes say 8 years). This was a WS 94 pointer when released but never lived up to that rating. Paired this wine with roast duck which my wife made over the weekend. This is turning a very lovely gold color at 10 years old. It is showing more richness and lush fruit than it had in the past. Dry and medium to full bodied. Notes of peach pit, wet stone and minerals. 90 points.

October 18, 2008 - Pale gold. Lovely nose of spiced pears, kerosene, linden flowers, damp earth. On the palate, consistent flavors with refreshing acidity and minerality of wet stones. Almost irridescent changes of flavor from sip to sip. Very delicious with Asian (Thai) inspired food tonight.
