July 11, 2015 - Popped and poured. This is a medium gold wine, with notes of daffodil and a sunny lawn on the nose. In the mouth, this is waxy and somewhat large, with a talc element and a twang on the finish. Overall, this is kind of meh -- the nose, mouth, and finish are all good, but nothing is noteworthy. 87 points.

May 7, 2015 - I liked this, but it wasn't as good as when I had it 18 months ago. For some reason the alcohol stuck out a bit for me this time around. Good rocky/minerally flavors though and good mouthfeel.
