Deep golden color, with herbs and a some honeydew melon. Since at the mature stage, I don't get a knife acidic finish with white pepper, but more ripe nectarine/apricot. Folks seem to think it's done, but I think mine are still good for the summer with light grilled veg if one doesn't require the super-citrus/pepper finish.

Light amber in color, showing effects of age at 5years; cork showed some cellar mold, and winestained to tip, so perhaps some issues in the cellar. Otherwise, needed some air to blow funky odors and initially tight flavors away, then paired with cheese and smoked salmon perfectly. Expected flavors of green apple and underripe pear were present, but muted. Short, snappy finish.

Consistent with my previous notes. Golden coloured with a fully developed and intense nose of herbs, vegetables, minerals over a core of honey and stone fruit. Elegant but also broad on palate with fresh acidity, good fruit definition and persistent peppery finish. Drinking very well at this moment, could keep for another 3 years.
