March 17, 2024 - Deep caramel color. Powerfully flavorful in apricot and honey. The cork was a bit crumbly, but nevertheless this wine has aged very well--even better than I had hoped. Totally delicious!
December 24, 2023 - Gifted
November 23, 2023 - Cork was soft but intact. Color was nearly brown. Nose was apricot, caramel, and petrol (faint). Palate was lush, sweet, honey, grass. Was it good? It was good. Tingly acidity, but this might be past its prime.
December 17, 2019 - Got too much age but still fine.
October 27, 2019 - It was good but not up to the standards I have seen before from Navarro. Straightforward and only mildly complex. It hits all the mandatory marks but doesn't exceed expectations. Tasty and well balanced. You could use this as a benchmark for dessert rieslings: It's good enough.
December 22, 2013 - Apricots, honey. Had with Pots de Creme
November 28, 2013 - Very nice.
July 9, 2013 - Rich yellow-gold in the glass with slow, thick legs. Honey on the nose, with sweet, stewed peaches, honey and orange on the palate. Medium-full body with a smooth, round texture. Medium-long finish. Very nice--if not super-complex--and a relative value.
March 21, 2013 - Fantastic wine! Honeyed on the nose and palate. Not cloying at all. Satisfying finish. I would buy again.
December 28, 2012 - Rich and sweet, with loads of orchard fruit, but the good acidity kept it lively enough. Very nice.
