  This one has started to show more banana and caramel then what I am really comfortable with. Definitely its Hay Day was probably 2 to 3 years ago, but I have heard these do hold and appreciate, but I guess I held it a little too long and let it appreciate a bit too much! Definitely planning to consume the 2018 and 19 soon. The Chardonnay I think holds awful lot longer.

  Agree with prior notes. Not a lot of bones to the wine.

  Pnp’d from the cellar. Medium golden color. The flavors have resolved and this wine is rounding very nicely into a homogeneous, delicious bottle of wine. The unique characteristics of each of the two grapes is diminishing and taking on new character.

  Pnp'd from the cellar. This wine has certainly evolved and has resolved and weighted up. The blend has resolved into a single flavor and has lost its acidic taste. The aromatics follow-suit with a nuttiness with quince flavors that have risen out of the glass and onto the tongue! Very nice and worth waiting for this to happen.

  A great Roussane. Floral and candle wax nose, mouthfeel a balance of peach, vanilla, honey, but not unctuous. Great texture!
