Wine was purchased from Winery upon release and properly stored until consumed. Frais des bois, rhubarb, mustard, honey, touch of vinegar and black pepper. Scent of sea breeze. After 60 minutes, casaba melon / honeydew emerges. Then: Figs. Plums. Perhaps one should open this an hour before drinking? Also a touch of alcohol. Walnuts. Cumquats. Sea foam. Dark cherry. Nice layers.
Going over the hill. Drink it if you have it.

Light but recognizable lychee and distant roses on nose and palette. Blue flowers or violets as well. Drinking all around good. At a great spot.

Very pretty nose. The rest is holding on, but just - on a downslope. Would have been better 3-4 years ago.

Surprisingly good. Fresh. Spice. Full of fruit and not overly alcoholic.

No formal notes but drank over 2 nights with friends and it is showing beautifully. Very full rich wine, sweet to drink. I've always loved this cuvee.
