  Given the tasting notes I was expecting a lot. What I found was an attractive nose and much heavier residual sugar than expected. Certainly more than I tend to favor. Lacked the complexity others heralded though the finish was long and refreshingly clean. Overall disappointed with my 375 but cork dammage May have been a factor

  I think this was on the verge of perfect, with at least 15 years of perfect life left. What a treat. So much going on with this wine. Matched with cheese and smoked meats.

  Gorgeous nose (A-/A). Very tasty palate with a good mix of sweetness, acidity and fruits (B++/A-). Quite a treat!

  Some light gold-yellow, still fresh with some mellowing development, still very young, but such a treat, crsip aspples, honey, zingy, like drizzled honey over fresh apple. Green Street Tavern with EWG

  Tasted at the winery. Robust aromas of honey, clove, fresh clementine, pineapple, and guava. Rich and dense on the palate though not sappy or overbearingly sweet given its fresh acidity. The finish is long, smooth, and ethereal.
