  May 2, 2015 - Color has darkened to green gold,; wine has lost vibrancy although perfectly drinkable.

  February 25, 2014 - Intense yellow/orange in colour. Expressive nose, creamy oak, butterscotch, ripe, sweet fruit, lovely. Slightly tired fruit on the palate with good acidity and medium length. Drink up, this is past its peak.

  June 30, 2012 - Amber in color. Lemon, citrus, and pear on palate. A little vanilla on the nose but not much else.
  Wish we would have opened this a year ago.

  April 18, 2012 - i keep opening my "past their prime" bottles thinking i'll wind up dumping it, but they keep surprising me.
  nose filled with fig, honey, lemon rind, caramel, and vanilla - really nice.
  on the palate not as pretty as the nose, but ok, with lemon rind, and butterscotch and a medium long finish. i regret not opening this a few years ago.
