  Our final bottle poured a light golden yellow color- looks mature but not old- very appropriate for its age. A complex and evolving bouquet offers apple, pear, spiced lemon rind, ginger, fig, nuts and dried honeycomb. I spent nearly ten minutes putting my nose to the glass before I even sipped the wine. Medium-bodied, with the weight that comes from age and flavors of lemon curd, pear, mineral and more of the honeycomb. Paired beautifully with halibut. 93 pts for me, 92 for Domino. I think this is about as good as this is going to get- drink now.

  Deep yellow color. Apple and fig with a subtle chemical undertone. Good fruit on the palate; nice weight and richness. There's a nice nutty quality that lingers on the finish. Perhaps not pristine, but enjoyable enough and paired nicely with halibut.

  Pop and pour. Loads of green apple and citrus with excellent balance. Well done Paul.

  Much more tropical than I expected, with notes of banana and melon on the nose and palate. Great weight on the attack, carrying through the midpalate and finish. Good acid. I'll hold this a few years yet and will expect it to add a point or two as it matures.
