This was highly expressive on the nose with honeysuckle, pear, and white flowers. In the mouth, there was excellent mid-palate depth with solid fruit and moderate acidity. Overall, this was an excellent expression of an underappreciated grape, and it pairs beautifully with asian cuisine.

Lite gold with medium-heavy viscosity in the glass. Tropical fruit, almond, flowers and peach cobbler on the nose. Secondary stone fruit, tangerine peel and vanilla. Medium-full body with stone fruit, citrus and butterscotch on the palate. Secondary tropical fruit and vanilla. Not as big or indulgent as the '08, but definitely more of a food wine…was amazing paired with artichoke soup.

Same as previous notes. Drank two glasses and left the rest for the next day. Was oxidized on day 2, so don't recommend that anyone try that.

Agree that this wine has plenty of life left. More acidic vs. round.
