  Golden color with ripe lemon curd and Slightly oxidative nose. Still quite flavorful, not fresh but secondary flavors. Honeyed, dried, over ripe citrus, , banana, sweet oak notes with a waxy and full mouthfeel. Good acidity and long lingering lemon on the finish. If you like slightly oxidized whites, this is great.

  Appearance very light in color, almost clear. Nose has hints of citrus and oak. Very acidic on the palate with hints of vanilla, oak, and citrus. A bit past it's prime, but tasty if the acidity wasn't too strong.

  Too much oak but not undrinkable.

  Very tarte, acidic, citrus wine. Hint of oak. Finish of citrus and butter. I had with cheesie food. I think it would be much better with a meaty white fish or shellfish. Yes...scallops or lobster.

  Very light in color - almost clear. Felt it tasted like a cross between a sauvignon blanc and a dry riesling. Lots of citrus, high acidity, and effervescence on the finish.
