A charming wine even though you would be hard press to remember it two days later.
Well proportioned and the colour has turned somewhat a golden yellow. Peach, pear and a hint of citrus on the nose, the body is light, elegant with honey and mandarin abound. Lovely acidity that provides the freshness. A saline finish with some minerals thrown in.
Drink now to 7+ years.

45 min decant. This has been stored properly for the last 8 years. Very pleasant wine that paired nicely with shrimp and rice for lunch. Overall good balance and Finish. Likely in its prime with a couple decades of life left.

Light sweet nose of pear, honey, hint of petrol. Medium sweet palate, very nicely balanced with more silky honey and and a tart finish. A light, delicate, charming wine.

Sunday at Ken's; 7/14/2013-7/15/2013: Very nice. Sweet but not over the top. Good body. Young on the nose with no petrol. Lots of minerals, wet stones and some grapefruit. Full bodied. Nice.

Light petrol nose. Sweet stone fruits but also a more tart lemon note with honey and spice. Developing into something very interesting and distinct.
