  February 19, 2016 - Still cloudy. See earlier notes. Pale straw. Nose has lichee and pear slight burnt notes some oak. Body still has bright acid medium weight with pear pineapple and other fruit notes. Still enjoyable but the color and clarity throws me.

  November 19, 2015 - Came home from a business trip and my lovely wife had this opened and largely consumed. Clean, bright and crisp. Round citrus flavor a with little discernible oak. Some pear notes. Fresh fruit. Not overly complex but this bottle was very pleasant and had a more favorable than the first one I tasted. Bummed my wife didn't leave me a touch more.

  October 21, 2015 - Clean and crisp without any discernible oak. Bright citrus and clean delivery and finish. A bit one dimensional but nothing off putting or out of sorts. Stone fruit and wet stone on the palate. Some citrus, melon and pear notes. Pretty linear but nice quality.

  July 7, 2015 - Relatively dull nose but slowly opened up to a slightly interesting effort. A bit of lemon-honey with barely any nuttiness or oak. Simple, developing palate with a splash of oak, short finish. Definitely not the belle of the ball. 14.2%. USD40. 2018.
