Although the color is the same as the first try, the nose has come alive. It is ephemeral, but at the outset you get hit with strong hints of apples and peaches. The taste remains elusive, although tannins and spices have come forward a lot more.

Just ok. Funny how different my experience was from the other notes here. Was expecting something funky - skin-contact...Scholium.... but really nothing interesting going on here. I didn't get the sweetness others picked up. If anything, the only fruit was a sort of unripe peach or apricot. Very little nose - maybe a hint of almond? Nothing on the midpalate or finish. Well balanced and it went down easy enough - but should expect more from an $50+ bottle of wine.

Golden color. Neutral nose, very difficult to pick something up. Taste is spicy, crisp, with a little bit of sour/tannins at the end. Excellent wine for the sunny day, and goes well with light fare.

Pear, nutty, some spice and a hint of tannins from skin contact. Not bad just wish it was a bit more complex for the price.
