March 17, 2017 - ripe red apple, butter, vanilla, passionfruit, lemon tart. this shows a good amount of oak and MLF creaminess. medium+ finish is a little flabby. Could use more acid.

October 3, 2016 - Balanced style. Rich, slightly toasty and nutty, but not over the top. Good freshness; pears, pineapple, mango, lime. Strong acidity lifting the wine to a lingering aftertaste. Nice!
