2013. Beautiful color, like solid gold. Peaches, nectarines and oak grace the nose, with a nice, soft vanilla layer. The oak is not over done. On the palate, peach, apricot and earth dominate, with the oak aging apparent. The wood is not full-on buttery, but close to it. The acidity is magnificent. Get some shrimp, crab or lobster - nice with mussels or clams, too. It may be lobster roll time! The finish leaves the buttery vanilla trace of oak along with that earthy fruit.

Tart apple, honey, pithy lemon, buttery oak and hints of limestone. Good structure and texture.

2017- rich fruitiness, soft green apple. Great buttery creaminess, with a soft oak finish

Gold hue with medium body and acidity. Aromas of ripe yellow apple, starfruit, juicy pineapple, a little bit of vanilla and butter. 6 years old so the richness and creaminess are mellow.
