Very impressive and still drinking well. Good balance and a nice delicious, long finish. Plenty of vanilla and lemon with a slight note of butterscotch as well. Just enough oak to keep it interesting but not enough to overwhelm the delicate citrus and stone fruit essence. Should continue to improve for another couple of years.

Wow. Still drinking beautifully. Creamy vanilla notes on the attack transition into firm lemon candy and ending with a long, luscious finish. Drink 2010-2012.

Wow, this was just delicious. The bouquet filled the whole house when I decanted the wine. (A small house, but still, ka-BOOM!) A little butterscotch is hidden under the lemony stones, along with nectarine pit and orange blossom flavors and a kiss of oak spice to introduce the finish. The finish is very long. While rich and leesy on the mid-palate, the wine remains refreshing with plenty of cut that shapes and extends the fruit base. This wine will last and possibly improve for several years. 94+

Too much lemon and acidity for me. Better with baked oysters.
