Popped and poured. Floral nose with some notable oak influences. Medium gold. The palate is full bodied sporting tropical flavors, spice and some oak. This bottle has begun to go downhill though. I think there are still more youthful bottles out there but probably worth drinking up soon.

Fully mature. Pretty floral nose with a hint of seashells. There is good fruit and acidity but quite a lot of oak impacting the flavor. Light golden. Crisp apple, orange, brioche, oak come through. Ok not great. Drink up.

Light gold color.
Creamy, buttery, and toast notes, with a significant amount of residual sugar. Fruit has faded a touch. Drink ‘em up.

Incredible. Butterscotch, passion fruit, caramel, lychee, amazing wine. Drink it now!

A 65th Birthday Celebration, Slightly COVID Delayed (EL Ideas - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Very rich and unmistakably New World, for better and worse. Lots of rich intensity, but lacking finesse or energy. Well made in its style, but not a style that thrills me.
