June 22, 2016 - Golden yellow with fresh bouquet of orange peel and grass. Not very flinty. Full bodied with long length. A bit too oaky. Structural wise it is a 93 and is very well made, but oak is very prominent and takes away from the wine experience for me.

October 4, 2015 - Might be past its prime. Strong alcohol without the fruit or acidity to balance. 14%

May 11, 2012 - No formal notes taken. Everything is integrated and I don;t see this gaining anything from ageing. My thoughts are this will hang on for a few years but I would not wait.
