  July 3, 2023 - Giving my 2nd bottle a go after the flawed first one.
  Nose: Pineapple, quince, nectarine, flowers, minerals, dried herbs (thyme and mint).
  Palate: Confectionary. Dried pineapple, membrillate, dried herbs again, and bruised apple toward the very end. Medium+ body, off-dry with medium+ acidity and alcohol warmth to balance it out. Fairly long finish. Fairly high concentration of fruit. Still has the stored away Christmas ornament box note, but it works this time. Between that and the candied fruit, this feels like the holidays.

  June 17, 2023 - Nose: Apple juice, a little oxidized.
  Palate: Reduced Mott's, bruised apple, honey, cyser, touch of sweet spice, rooting through the cardboard box of Christmas ornaments in late November. Very sweet, beyond demi-sec. Medium acidity can't compete with it. I've heard good things about aged chenin, so I don't know if this was just off or bad provenance.

  February 25, 2023 - Solid effort. Slight sweetness still remains, apricot, peach, slight note of oak on the palate. Very clean, precise and focused. Good, will last for years.

  March 12, 2021 - Light straw in color. Nose of honeysuckle and pear. Tastes of honeysuckle, Meyer Lemon, and hints of ripe peaches and minerals. Lovely wine, still balanced with lovely fruit and acidity. Drank better on days two and three. Unbelievable QPR. Drinking nicely now, but should last another 5-7 years with potential for positive evolution.

  January 2, 2015 - Fruity bouquet, melon, honey, and hints of lychee and grapefruit on the palate continuing through the finish. The acidity has mellowed nicely allowing the honey to come through, very nice to sip all by itself!
