  Oh dear. I bought this on the suggestion that it would age - on the basis of this bottle, it hasn't, or at least not in a way I like. Blowsy, overripe raisin, overripe melon, sweat. A bit sherry like? Faulty? Bad bottle? Yet the flavours are consistent with my previous note (like a fat pinot blanc). And rather ugly yeasty character on the finish. Not for me.

  Lemon zest and peaches with a slight waxy note.
  
  Medium acid with a long, slightly bitter finish. Lots of texture on the palate.
  
  The fruit on the nose, texture on palate, medium acid, and low alcohol all work in harmony to make this a delicious wine.

  Consistent with previous note, although I noted on this occasion how very austere it is - bone dry and with piercing acidity.

  Nose is melon, honey, a bit of apple, and a perfume of herbs. Big body, not much acid at all. A healthy amount of sweetness. Apple skin, and yeast, which leaves a residue feeling. Pleasant finish.
  
  B

  One of the fullest-bodied whites I've had. A little perfume with notes of melon rind, green apple, beeswax and a hint of cucumber skin.
