Dinner with the wine group (Zazie, SF): Moderately aromatic, peach, tropical fruit, pineapple; palate is full bodied, richly textured but not at all heavy, tropical pineapple, good length. This is very nice, but very expensive for what it’s showing. 92 With 30 minutes air, this starts to open up and develop a bit more complexity. Pretty nice. 92-93 2 hours air: continues to improve and improve. Richness with lightness. 93-94

A bit of wood noticeable on the nose, medium rich entry, then shows the warmth of the vintage with a bit of sweetness and some background wood notes. Has what I've come to recognize as the typicity of many 2012 whites, which is a controlled ripeness, more round and fleshy than a more precise cooler vintage.
