April 10, 2018 - Cork in good shape. Gold color. Honeyed nose. Holding up well, complex, good acidity, bordering on sour, herbal notes (dill, sage).

December 26, 2014 - Mature prickly pear and quava. Fruit spice, Mineral (yes a little skunk and funk) and petrol, not unlike the '94 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc going around.

October 3, 2013 - Gold in color. While it still has good acidity, the fruit flavors are largely gone. Hints of minerals in the finish.
