A strange melange. Needs 45 minutes or so to open up. No distinct flavor notes that I could discern. Ok, but nothing special. I’ve had prior vintages of this that I much preferred.

Pnp pairing with apps of cheese and veggies after a nice Napa Chardonnay. Very new world profile of stone fruits, apples and some acidity. Not the group fav. tonight. one more to go in the cellar.

Second bottle within one week. This bottle had a distracting funky, skunky nose (more than first bottle). It somewhat blew off, but never disappeared. On the creamy palate, citrus and medium-ripe stone fruits with some spice and almonds. Nice acid balance gives refreshing finish. Agree with other TNs that there is some clear bottle variation - caveat emptor. 89-90

Showed bitter and floral notes and had a moderate acidity to help keep it working.

A little tired and not a great drink. I’d drink.
