Fresh aroma. Primary: Honeycomb honey, sour cherries. Secondary: vanilla, dill. High acid, perhaps a tad too much. Tannins soft. Body med. Still vibrant fruit with barrel qualities in background. Acids seem to soften after a couple hours.

Fresh aroma. Primary: Honeycomb honey, sour cherries. Secondary: vanilla, dill. High acid, perhaps a tad too much. Tannins soft. Body med. Still vibrant fruit with barrel qualities in background. Acidity seems to soften with air, aroma opens up. Very elegant wine with rounded edges. Drinking well now, but will only go downhill from here, so better open it now.

1986 Marques de Murrieta Whites and Red, Ancient Lopez de Heredia Tondonia (Los Gatos, California): Unfortunately, the third wine in the 1986 Murrieta troika could not live up to the 2 whites. Sound color but corked.

Lots of honey in smell. Some tannins, high acidity. Very tasty.
