June 27, 2016 - Sunfish 400th Tasting (Sunfish cellars): From a magnum, slight rancio, bitter bitter fruit, nail polish. I'm out of my depth here, don't understand why you'd drink this.

June 25, 2016 - Sunfish Cellar High End Tasting (Sunfish Cellars, St. Paul, MN): Tasting pour. From magnum. Meyer lemon, oxidative, baked lemon, nail polish, bitter. This wasn't completely oxidized, but oxidative at least, nothing much to like here. Curious as to what this looked like 10 years ago, but wouldn't dream of paying that for it. Not sure how to rate this - I'm not convinced whether it is right or intact, and i wouldn't drink it on purpose. Probably 74ish if this was what it's supposed to be.

January 21, 2008 - Tiny active bubbles with the occasional small bubble jumping in the game. Really perfumy nose with lychee, mango flesh and dry fruits interwoven with sensual and unusual notes of honeycomb and white flowers. Stunning. Dense, creamy and lush in the mouth with bright acidity, showing hazelnuts, butterscotch cream, yeast, pear flesh and floral notes right near the end. This wine is absolutely incredible! 5/5

January 21, 2008 - Light golden color with fine bubbles. The nose shows honey and nettles with tropical fruits and mango peal. In the mouth the wine is lush and honeyed with rich flavors of vanilla, cream, yeasty bread and musty cellar. Really a complex and exciting with with layer after layer of fruit and perfumy aromas. Lush in the mouth with a medium acidity that balances to perfection the light sweetness in the middle. This is a wine to fall in love with. 4.5/5
