SnP, held since release. Medium straw, somewhat dull, with very slight CO2. Straightforward, typical aromas and flavors; simpler than I'd expected (read: hoped for). Correct in all facets, just uninspired. 8,0% abv, drink thru 2019

I had really hoped to be able to resist this bottle when I caught it in the corner of my eye while in the cellar - but the attraction was too strong. Enjoyed with a dish of Pad Thai. The wine is showing nicely at the moment, but has at least 15 years ahead of it. A brilliant acid backbone lets the sweet orchard fruits glide across the palate in a very refreshing, pleasing style. I think I'll open the others in 3+ years - this is a winner. Approx $25, 8% abv

I really lilked this wine. Great balance and depth. Extremely long, expansive finish. Racy acidity, minerals, bright, crisp fruit. This really blossomed and expanded with air. I will be tempted to decant if I open aother bottle soon.

Way too sweet for a wine we understood to have a drier style. A little cloying, and also lacking the mineral flavors we were hoping for. It was ok with some spicy cajun styled halibut, the sweeter fruits cooling the spicy dish, but was not great on its own.

Friday Night Blind Tasting (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): I tasted this on the third day open and it was still going strong with honey and oil, slightly oxidized. Just a starter to get the palate ready for the real stuff.

David Bowler Spring 2007 Portfolio Tasting (New York City): Light lemon color. Nose of sweet apples and complex minerality, with a touch of spice. On the palate it is mouthcoating with notes of pear.
