Spent all afternoon cooking Christmas Eve dinner and all everyone wanted to talk about around the table was this wine. It enchanted red- and white-wine drinker alike. Crème brûlée, tangerine zest, marzipan and river stones. Oily and satisfying. Delicious right out of the bottle. An hour in the glass was even better. Our white wine drinker, H, said it was the best white she’d had in years. Drink now to 2028. Outstanding.

Deep yellow gold. Lemon curd, ripe pear, honey, white flowers with a grassy undertones. Full body, intense, low acid and medium+ finish. This is very much a New World wine.
Good mouthfeel and decent balance (could use more acid) but the persistent honey aftertaste is unfortunate. My third bottle of this wine, each with consistent notes.

Opened but not decanted about four hours prior to consuming. The edges have softened a bit since the first bottle. Tropical notes and Rhone qualities present with a long finish. Beautiful wine with plenty of life left ahead of it if you can keep your hands off of it.

Decanted for one hour, needed to show its true nature. Reminds me of Northern Rhōne. Big wine in good balance with acidity. Drink over the next ten years would be my guess.
