Time to finish these up. Bouquet is fading, though overall the wine is still quite nice. Texture, acidity, slate minerals, and alcohol still in balance, but it was bigger on flavor 14 months ago.

Dark yellow with medium viscosity in the glass. Lemon oil, dried flowers, chalk, pineapple, applesauce and walnuts on the nose. Med-full body and persistent with lemon oil and rich tropical fruit on the palate. Loads of pith, flowers and chalky minerals. Just enough acidity to hold its weight. Long finish.

Nice floral nose. Needs to open up for a while before it's at its best nose & taste. Smooth consistent mineral tastes throughout the bottle. Wish there were a bit less alcohol.

Nice floral nose. Touch of sweetness, tropical fruits n acidity that went well with lighter fare.
