    March 15, 2014 - Last bottle but better than the one I just opened. Carmel, apples, spices, pineapple and subtle oak. This is more balanced and complex and should still be consumed now. Wonderful effort.

    December 25, 2009 - A: Clear, medium gold
    N: Quite vegetal - cooked green beans, some mineral notes, leesy, nutty, aldehyde; very Burgundian
    P: Very similar to nose - med + body, med alc, very nutty on long finish
    Tastes very similar to Meursault to me - rich but not overdone. Ann's favorite. Didn't seem to fit very well with the Smith Madrone or Buty. Completely different style. Would love to taste this along side some Burgundies.

    July 21, 2009 - Apples and some butter on the nose. Delicious wine, crisp green apple at first taste. With air and warmer temp a touch of butter. Really enjoyed this.
