Pretty floral notes. Glycerin palate. Pink and peachy with a bit of sweet. Lacks a little cut. Yum

Stone fruit, lemon curd, Sauternes, ginger ale.. enough funk to be interesting. Not for beginners.

Tantalizing and powerful aromatics with body and structure to match. Complex and delicious.

Consistent with other notes here. Says 13.5% but I get some RS. Put this in a blind white Rhône tasting.

Nice body with a tropical nuance to it, a touch sweet.  May be missing some acid or maybe with more age it will balance itself out.  Still, a very nice wine.

Clear & brilliant light yellow color with an intense aroma of zippy, green berry fruit. A spicy/ floral & mineral note as well with elements of rosemary & straw. Off-dry with medium plus body & flavors of ripe cantelope, apricot nectar & white chalk. Touches of green leaf & straw. Some grape tannins with medium alcohol, length & complexity.
