October 9, 2020 - Surprised this hung on so well. From 750mL. Opens well after about 20 minutes in the glass, better as it warms. Enough acidity you keep it fresh with some emerging nutty notes from bottle age. I wouldn’t hold these any longer.

December 29, 2019 - From magnum. Medium gold color. Floral nose. Well integrated oak without oakey/buttery character. Hints of vanilla on the palate with some fruit still present. Went extremely well with the Spanish chorizo, pate, & cheese appetizers. Lovely bottle, wish we had more.

January 1, 2018 - The wine looks straw colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like butterscotch and cinnamon. It tastes like lemon and mineral. The body is light. The wine has fleshy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. I was surprised that it has lasted this long in less than excellent circumstances.
