So...this is definitely not my style. The nose is somewhat intriguing, with some orange blossom, peach, and wax, but the sweetness of the vanillin oak creeps a bit too far into the mix for me. On my palate, things definitely start heading south. At this point there is little fruit, but the real issue for me is lack of acidity; without a crisp acidic backbone this wine feels flat and lifeless - with the only lasting impression being the heat on the finish. Enjoyed the 2005s more than than the 2007s.

Clear lemon colour. Tart, mineral nose of citrus (lemon) and wet stone. Dry!
Oddly flat; it seems to skip over the front of my tongue and go straight to the back of my mouth. Still dry, but not as dry as I expected - less tart, and a bit dull in terms of acidity. Light but well-rounded mouthfeel - smooth. Simple but very pleasant to drink.

This is in a really nice spot right now. Paired well with pineapple chicken stir fry.

Somewhat floral, strong vanilla component. Not a re-buy.
