From a great looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow center with clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose offered up honey, lemon, creme brulee, and white stone. The nose was impressive early on and got better with air.
In the mouth, this wine was medium bodied with crisp acidity and excellent length. It had good complexity but was just a bit disjointed (not fully integrated).
This was enjoyable but will certainly not be getting better. Enjoy!

From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a light gold/deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose revealed lemons, almond paste, honey, and some stone.
In the mouth, this wine was pretty quiet at first. It took easily 5 hours of air for the flavors and length to develop. However, in the final analysis, the flavors were not quite as interesting as the nose.
I doubt this is getting better but it will certainly last 5+ years in the cellar at this level. Enjoy!

A bit nutty and oxidative but super fresh, bright acidity and nice tension. Very cool!

Past peak but retained good fruit. Low acidity.
