December 19, 2019 - Fully mature, the wine retains some of its crispness but has taken on aged honeyed attributes to accompany the citrus and green apple core of fruit. This is starting to tire and oxidize, so drink up.

December 10, 2017 - Surprisingly balanced after nine years, a whiff of wax, good bitters, a lot to taste and a nice finish.

Nez oxidé, caramel, pas terrible comme nez.
En bouche, un peu d'oxidation, caramel, citon confit, acidité peu élevé, longueur moyenne, rappel un Rioja classique, mais un peu moux. Bien, mais terrible RQP. -

November 16, 2016 - Similar to prior experiences, but with a little more oxidative flavors as the bottle opens up. Tending more towards a white Rioja on the end notes. Best drunk on the cooler side. Nice round body with some notes of caramel. Decent acidity. A heavier style of white rather than a bright, light style.
