  February 26, 2022 - Unusually deep gold in color, this full-throttle wine leaps out of the glass to attack the palate with whole lemon and tropical fruits than fan out to a full rainbow of tastes and sensations. Much bolder than previous bottles.

  April 9, 2021 - Well balanced, a bit more muted and coming together nicely. Bright yellow mid-weight wine with vanilla lemon, beeswax and dried honey, lemon crepe cookies on the finish.

  December 31, 2020 - Wonderfully opulent and dense. Medium gold color. Needs some air or decanter time. Closed off at first but then rich in mixed orchard fruit flavors, nuttiness and more creamy than buttery. Nice texture and moderately bright acidity. Long on the finish. Mid-palate is just a little shallow for me. A little more complexity and acidity and I think this would warrant several points higher.

  November 6, 2020 - Dinner at Bar-a-Thym (Bar-a-Thym): Excellent. This was an unexpected treat served by friends at the next table. It had such a lovely, perfumed nose, with wafts of white flowers and vanilla bean, mint and almonds, a few touches of spice, and a lovely core of white stone fruit aromas. The palate was where this really shone though - subtle, balanced, almost Burgundian in shape, with an elegant cut and feel to its stone fruit, green apple and white flower notes, again laced with that unusual note of vanilla, mint and almonds. Very nicely fresh too, with a lovely lift of acidity on the midpalate and into a long, bright finish. Unique, but really delicious. I really enjoyed this.

  October 11, 2020 - Another really enjoyable bottle. Bright lemongrass aromas, tight structure opening to white peach and stone fruit after 30 minutes or more of air. Consistent with prior bottles and my other notes.
