This is a very nice wine, still enjoyable 7 years out although it has lost some of its nose and fruit. Mellow yellow in the glass, nice almost Mosel-like minerality in the middle, decent length. Enjoy this for what it is -- a well-crafted niche blended white -- but don't let it sit 5 more years to become what it will never be.

Tasted with a group of wine collectors as part of six bottle tasting. It was by far the worst of the six. Nose was off but not corked. Very little fruit left. Not unpleasant but most of us poured it out after giving an hour to see if it would come around. It never did. Too bad. Guess I held this too long.

Nose is sweet with apricots and honey. Dry in the mouth though, not really my jam, bit oaky and astringent.
