  Medium golden yellow. Lush and layered nose with pears, perfumed herbs, straw and a bit nutty. Medium acidity (5.5/10) and medium minus bodied. Well balanced palate with citrus rind and nuttiness. Long finish. Drink till 2023.

  Wet stone, lemony, finishes with a floral delicate musk reminiscent of a dry mead.

  A few years of age has worked nicely for this wine. Thought it was a bit simple in its youth.

  Golden color, white flowers, straw, honeysuckle and lanolin. Tart lemon cream, lemon zest, white watermelon rind and steely minerality. Lip smacking acidity. Really lovely.

  Light gold. A: this opened over three days somewhat, but was less giving than the Amador bottling. Some honeyed white flowers and citrus. F: quite shy and showing more mineral and acid than fruit until the second day. In the end, it gave some creamy textured pear and stone fruit with a bit of honey. Nice showing, but alas I had only one.
