nose - sweet cream, but not overbearing mouth - bitter lime. crisp with good acidity. Overall the entire experience is reminiscent of a cream lime pie (key lime pie?). I am liking this more than the last time around.

Deep golden color. Nos - caramel. Mouth - I am reminded of grappa. Good acidity. Tasted blind and was puzzled by what vareital it could be and even went on a limb and guessed semillion (xxx). Not buttery, and not what i would expect from a chard. Maybe its the age that threw me off. An intriguing bottle. Will retaste.

Golden color with a very strong oak and vanilla nose. Unctuous mouthfeel with an almost overpowering oak component. Not much fruit made its way through that oak. So, a bit of an overaked, fruitless mess, unless you like that sort of thing.

Anita: Nice soft apple (sauce?) lite pear; a hint of vanilla-oak, hint of orange peel; viscous, gold color; good, but got a bit flabby and boring after 2 glasses. well made, but lacked finesse/structure/persistence. Great with orangesalad dressing and salmon.

This wine is done. Little fruit, not refreshing, and past it's time. Fortunately, my only bottle, and found due to CellarVU.
