May 4, 2024 - Beautiful nose and palate on the abricot and honey. Long finish with a nice bitterness on the lime skin. I was negatively surprised by how low the acidity was, which made the wine rather heavy. Paired with tantamen ramen, it was too sweet and not acidic enough for the dish. Maybe to pair with lemon pie would give the twist.

May 14, 2023 - Apricots on the nose. A sweet honeyed boldly fruity body. Interesting dryness in the long finish.

December 31, 2021 - Popped and poured. Medium bodied, quite exuberant in style. Showing pear, peach, some tropical fruit, herbs and wax. Delicious right now but should have a long life ahead.

February 8, 2021 - Not a sec chenin blanc - it's a bit sweet and I didn't expect that (haha, should have read the others' reviews first). Lovely apricots on the nose. Warm, rich, delicious - but only 12.5%, wow! A hair low in acidity for my taste. But, really a nice wine. Amazing nose. Went well with food.
