March 29, 2024 - Clear deep gold; clean medium plus nose of apricot, ginger and honey; dry; high acidity; medium plus alcohol; full body; medium plus to pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of macadamia nuts, marmalade, pith and wax; long finish; drinking superbly; has the structure to last another 5+years but why wait?

January 19, 2024 - Nearly decades old and still showing well. Complex. Nose is powerful showing smoked honey, ginger, spiced apple and chamomile tea. Full and balanced palate with surprisingly fresh and youthful acidity. Flavours add a buttery note to the honey and grilled pineapple backbone. Delicious wine. Drink now.

July 28, 2014 - Weekly tasting group #128; A mixed set of wines. (@ DJ): Golden yellow. In the bouquet honey, butter candy, polishing wax and litchi. On the palate an enormous concentration, litchi and honey again. Very tasty wine.

August 11, 2012 - Deep gold/yellow in color, gently fading to the rim. Nose of chalk, lychee, tree resin, rich and ripe apricot and pear. On the palate, rich and lush med(+) mouthfeel, med(+) acidity, light tannins, and totally dry. This wine shows notes of apricot, pear and lychee fruit, with minerality and a med(+) finish. Gorgeous med climate white wine from Niagara, delicious with Thai and sushi tonite. Should drink well for another 1-2 yrs.
