  3 of 3 winebid bottles bad. Older whites via auction: You are dead to me!

  Light gold color with fat legs in the glass. Nice mix of aromas: lemon, lychee nut, pine needles, a little petrol, very complex. A bit nutty on the palate, and quite bold. It almost feels like a medium-tannin green tea. Medium acid, enough to keep it fresh, but this is not a tangy wine. Some more mature flavors: dried apple, lemon tea, lychee nut, honeycomb and a dash of minerals. This is a solid St. Joseph blanc. If I had another, I'd probably give it a year, but no more, just because the fruit on this 2005 seems to be waning.

  Pale gold. Dusty nose. Very thin and watery. Aeration made worse. Not oxidized, just empty, watery, blah. No mid palate, no finish. Flaw? Try another bottle. Update, bottle 2; better, but not great. Dusty nose, clear oxidative qualaties. Again that watery, empty blah middle and end. Very unsatisfactory; lesson learned (?) No more buying older whites!

  Really an eye-opening wine, pale yellow, good bouquet of hazelnuts, apricots, peaches and other yellow fruits, a touch of honey and nutmeg and a hint of lime zest to give it a hint of mouth-wateringness before you even taste it. Medium-bodied, richly flavored and well-balanced with good fruit and acidity (and a 30-sec. finish), this wine was a hit with coq au vin and would pair well with even heavier dishes. Happy to have one bottle left in the racks.

  Faint golden colour. Medium intense nose, peaches and some alcohol. Fatty, plenty of glycerin, a lack of fruit on the palate and some bitterness. More bitterness on the aftertaste, that is not very complex or pleasing.
