Wonderful finding this bottle after forgetting it was there. Still fresh but with the distinct hazelnut notes that come with age. Light gold in color.medium nose with notes of lemon, cream brûlée, hazelnut, green apple and honeysuckle. Medium body, alcohol and acidity. Medium plus finish. Reminds me of a younger R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva.

Deep golden yellow color with aromatic, perfumed floral, spiced citrus, pear nectar, and honey with a hint of wet stone aromas. On the palate it's show surprising weight. It's focused, and well structured showing lively acidity and great mouth feel with melon, spiced orange, tangerine, and honey flavors. Long finish. Blend of 60% semillon from vines in the Monte Rosso vineyard that were planted in 1886 and 40% sauvignon blanc from Kick Ranch; 50% new oak. 2012 Vintage

This needs air to show its range of flavor and texture. Then minerals and citrus, and a slightly gravely texture emerges.

Dark gold with green hue, interesting nose of pears, apricots, melon, jasmine, and a touch of butter. Round and creamy with melon like flavirs and a touch of spices on the end.
