March 17, 2017 - Cork was dirty, crusty and black. No worries, wine was a vibrant yellow. Smells of tropical fruits and the faintest hints of smoke and toast that add intrigue. Palate was clean and mineral driven, lovely, with great texture and mouthfeel. Wisps of acidity dance about providing life and lift. Terrific showing. Best yet of four bottles in past two years.

May 17, 2014 - This was an incredible bottle of 24 year old white wine. It was like nectar. Beautiful golden color, slight orange blossom on the nose and silky mouth feel. Wish we had more.

February 9, 2014 - This is a 24 year old bottle and it was truly amazing. From its clear, golden color, wonderful floral nose, delicate fruit and great long finish it turned out to be a great bottle of wine. We have 2 left which we will not hold onto for much longer. This was a pleasant surprise when we bought it 10 years ago and it continues to surprise.
