  Quite golden, amber tinges. Nose of marmalade, quince and lemon. Fine acidity. Marzipan, honey, citrus. Tons of complexity. Screams S Rhone white, aged. Very well made but maybe pushing its envelope. I liked it but others didn't. Not for the faint hearted.

  Done.... I have a few more of these because the first one was so amazing, but this one was almost undrinkable. It's a deep gold, and too aged (or aged too quickly maybe). There seems to be a ton of bottle variation, with the first of the three we've had being spectacular; this and the previous one the edge or clearly past "done." Thank goodness for PA's liberal return policy -- back to the store with the rest!

  Totally different than the previous bottle of this -- it was not as fresh.... definitely not corked but the oxidation was noticeable. Still a pleasant drink, with Deb saying it had notes of cognac. I don't mind when a white, sometimes, has a little bit of oxidation, so I don't mind this too much but it's right on the border of being done.

  Really lovely white. nose of sea air with little to none of the fruitiness noted by others....but this is a little later in life than those notes. Nose also of stoniness, a little herbaceousness. The palate is similar, with definite minerality and little fruitiness. the finish is remarkable and long, we can barely tell the difference in intensity a good while after we swallow. A great surprise.
