  Certainly still seemed in good shape, although I think perhaps better a few years ago given the wine didn't have a huge amount of energy. Very oily and opulent, with honey and lanolin, although not obviously sweet. Perhaps more of a vin de meditation than one to drink with food, despite Pinot Gris's reputation as being the Swiss army knife of the food matching world.

  Golden color with a bouquet and flavor dominated by lychee nuts with wonderful acidity, and although dry, a somewhat sweet impression. Some telltale mustiness but not has much as usual for this wine. Very good balance and nuance with a fairly long finish. Very nice wine which went well with the exquisite food at Compton Place, a one-star Indian restaurant gem on our first night in San Francisco on our annual trip to that beautiful city and Sonoma-Napa.

  Nice nose tonight, but the wine seems monolithically sweet. Hard to square with my previous note.

  Lovely deep gold with long viscous legs, the nose opens up to reveal complex medium-plus aromas of lychees, pineapple, peach,apricot, fresh white flowers like gardenias, honey, and even a toasty buttery note. In the mouth, it has rich medium-plus body, and lipsmackingly high acidity, all making for a very satisfyingly complex mouthfeel. The palate is of peaches , apricots and mango leading into a characteristic finish of spiciness and a rich barley sugar. Between off-dry.and, medium sweet, the high acidity makes this a great food wine, and is in a delightful and elegant place at the moment . Drink now and enjoy but it should keep for a few more years.
