Popped and poured. This is a medium gold wine, with notes of daffodil and a sunny lawn on the nose. In the mouth, this is waxy and somewhat large, with a talc element and a twang on the finish. Overall, this is kind of meh -- the nose, mouth, and finish are all good, but nothing is noteworthy. 87 points.

I liked this, but it wasn't as good as when I had it 18 months ago. For some reason the alcohol stuck out a bit for me this time around. Good rocky/minerally flavors though and good mouthfeel.

Barrel sample - light yellow color; appealing, aromatic, nutty, almond, lanolin, tart pear nose; tasty, silky textured, very tart peach, mineral, tart pear, almond, lanolin palate with good acidity; should go 20-25 years; medium-plus finish (100% Roussanne) 93-94 points
