September 29, 2019 - Fun and funky. Lots of ripe oaky notes. Drank a lot like a Chardonnay. Still had nice acid and only light honeyed notes.

August 21, 2019 - From magnum. The wine is still young and fresh at 11 years old. Plenty of vibrant acidity with a lot of stone fruits and minerals. Served with a lobster salad that paired perfectly with the wine. Easily another decade left on this wine.

September 24, 2016 - Golden colored, full bodied and so dense (it so densely coats the glass) with a nose full of yellow fruit and a slight toasty finish, which lingers for a long time very nicely. The cork exploded on me but nothing that The Durand can't fix.
