Light gold color. Young and fresh. Great nose. Plenty of fruit with decent complexity. Long finish with plenty of acidity. Really nice.

Light cold color with a clay soil nose. Notes of light citrus, ginger, white flowers, some caramel and butterscotch, some earth. Fruit is decent. Ample acidity. While not what I would deem all-out POX, this definitely has a little bit of the sherry/butterscotch, caramel thing going on. Usually this bottle would be emptied quickly with this group and it had half a bottle left at the end of the night. That's your rating right there.

Light canary gold color. Looks young and vibrant in the glass. Great nose. Notes of citrus, gravel stone, tan spice and a little ginger. Great tactile mouth feel. Lots of minerality. Long finish. This bottle was great and had at least 10 more years in front of it.

Lt gold. Vibrant. Lots of acidity. Still young and very tight. Needs more time.

Serious wine with a bit to much heat on the back end for my personal taste.

Nice wine. But dry on palate. Lacking fruit depth and complexity
