Wow. So thick. The wine is a golden yellow color and has a large, beautiful, luscious candy smell on open. On taste, it's well balanced acidity makes it very smooth. Yet its full of fruit. Still, all I could think about was how thick this wine was, how it almost coats the whole mouth. I suppose some might be less interested in this but I was captivated. Certainly one of the best bottles of white wine I've tasted and I wonder if 20 more years would be even better.

Still a bright ruby red. Nose felt a bit flat, that the alcohol burned away and some fruit too. More earthy and herbaceous than fruit. Palate is earth, soil. A serious wine and nicely balanced with few residual tannins. Tasted a glass only.

Wow. Golden yellow with a deep nose with a hint of caramel. Tastes is balanced witha hint of butter. So much character and complexity. Long finish.
