June 16, 2020 - Dark gold, honey notes, orange peel, oxy-nutty, honey nut cheerios in fact, soft medium acidity, very interesting slightly bitter finish, like old grapefruit rind or something. Past it's prime but still has character. Nutty but not fully oxidized. A few people really liked this. DD tasting blind Malibu.
*Note: Previous bottle tasted last year seemed to be in much better shape. -

November 25, 2019 - Caramel, roasted nuts, nectarine pit, sweet richness with elevated acidity, juicy and mouthwatering, complex and long. Really liked the age on this which turned slightly rich, ripe and tangy on the palate. Capital Seafood for DD.

December 29, 2018 - Honeyed peach, mineral, a little nutty, bright and a little tart on the palate with good weight. I liked it much than most of the others at the tasting.
