  Pop n pour. Now 1h after opening. Aromas of honeysuckle, ripe apples and pears, some mango, some herbs and minerals. Palate w ripe apples, mangos, guava, herbs, and a nice streak of minerals on midpalate. Nice but not great acids give the wine some lift. Moderately short finish of tropical fruits, a bit of medicinal herbs adding some bitterness, and some minerals. Good bur not great concentration and depth of flavors. Overall, a very good but not great wine. I definitely like the wine on the cold side to retain the acids to balance out the tropical fruit. Gets a tad flabby for me as the wine warms up. 89 when cold. 87 as it warms.

  Delicious in minerality, crisp green apple, long crisp finish. Years ahead of it, great with seafood.

  Plenty of citrus pith and stone fruit. Maybe seems like it's tipping downward on trajectory? Didn't seem oxidized or "old" but wasn't a fresh tasting wine. From a 375mL.

  Drink it up. Bought a lot at the BD fire sale. It’s good but getting close to the edge.

  Modest melon and apple notes with low acidity and a prominent nutty quality--likely past its prime.
