This is a favourite & we picked up a few bottles to see how age changes it. This is our last bottle and age has done it well.
Time has made it weightier. The wine is real dry & has a bit of a walnut flavour. In its depths, you can tease out a hint of sweetness.
We need to find more. — a month ago
Subtle floral and nutty aromas, very crisp and clean on the palate with some mild citrus acid. — 3 months ago
Quite yellow gold colour , wide light lemon rim. Shows quite a lot of development . Quite toasty with roasted nuts , candied citrus peel , candle wax , ginger , saffron, curry powder, sea breeze. On the palate this is structured and quite full bodied with the nutty character , ginger and candied lemon rind , great intensity and grip , salty , balanced acidity and very long and balanced on the finish . Drinking well now but needs time to open , will probably continue at this high level for another 5-10 years and maybe even improve further — 2 days ago
With ramp pesto corn orzo — 2 months ago
Medium copper salmon colour , with wide slightly yellow tinged rim . Toasty notes , with some dried herbs , orange rind , candle wax , toasted almonds , sea breeze, in some ways quite similar to the white reserva. On the palate this is quite intense and grippy again , with a nutty , spiced orange rind , dried red fruit . Good balanced acidity , good volume and decent length . This is ready and drinking well now but will probably last well over the next 5 -8 years, though I don’t see it improving — 2 days ago
Consistent with previous bottles and notes. Just love the rich, slightly oxidized style of vanilla drenched ripe yellow fruit, cedar and marzipan with a touch of sweetness. Good acidity and complexity. — 3 days ago

Quite pale straw colour . Quite lightly floral with citrus and some yellow fruits . Quite rounded citrus fruits , balanced acidity , creamy texture . Slightly toasty citrus tinged finish . Quite good length and freshness . Drinking well now but I would imagine this can continue well over the next 5 to 10 years — 2 days ago
