  Lite gold with medium viscosity in the glass. Pleasing nose of citrus, grass, vanilla, stone fruit and grapefruit pith. Secondary wet stone and spice. Medium body, clean and structured with citrus (lime, tangerine & blood orange), stone fruit, spice and vanilla on the palate. Citrus pith and melon on the back. Fruit and creaminess have faded since last bottle, but backbone remains. Mouth coating and watering. Medium finish. Intriguing and delicious.

  Aromas of orchard fruit, yellow stone fruit and chalky minerality. Rich with good balancing acidity. Hasn't changed too much since tasting it last year, so I'm assuming that this should be able to keep for quite some time still.

  Nice wine at this moment, it seems to be like a good burgundy 1er cru.

  Monthly Tasting Group LTB 2012-03; Northern Spain white wines (By IL): Smoke and a lot of toasted oak in the bouquet. Same on the palate. A lot of minerals, tart citrus, a touch of sweetness. Concentrated wine. Not a bit too old and I think this can last for another few years.

  Dark, murky gold with medium/heavy viscosity in the glass. Powerful and intriguing nose of citrus, pith, honey, tropical & stone fruit, apple and terpene. Secondary wet stone, vanilla and nail polish. Full body with many turns. Initial blood orange and wet stone turns to lychee, tropical fruit and creamy vanilla mid-palate. Mouthwatering citrus, pith, flowers, herbs and slate minerality on the medium-long finish. Enjoyable and good QPR on closeout at Grocery Outlet.
