  October 22, 2022 - It was showing a funky, cheesy aroma that I didn’t really care for. I’ve had better bottles.

  June 29, 2021 - Outstanding. Mellow florals on the nose with a hint of grass and honey, gravelly minerals (an earlier reviewer called it wet slate, nice) soft rounded mouth feel, long finish. Drinking spot on. Last tasted in 2016, dare I say it but this bottle has continued to improve!

  April 19, 2020 - On PnP, a bit too cold stunting aromas. First notes evolving are geranial and acidic. Clues to its age beyond the pale golden color would include a mild aldehyde/sherry character. As it warms a bit and takes on air, it softens only slightly with some very austere aged fruit showing. I agree with other tasters that this is better on the second day, but it seems even older than it is. This condition is not due to lack of acidity holding things together! Seems well past its prime.

  November 7, 2019 - A few years late unfortunately
  It opens and for about 15 minutes you have a complex delicious wine. Don’t miss them.
