Good bottle, full-bodied, a bit oily on the palate. Decent length to the finish. What it is missing is enough acid to clean up the finish. Served alongside grilled peaches topped with pecans, blue cheese and honey. The dish flattened the wine out.

Dark golden. Big nose with bruised apples, apple cider, canned peach, yellow honeysuckle. Peaches in syrup, bruised apples, mango, mineral oil on the palate. Considerable extract and a pleasing sweetness without being stickym but does seem to have lost freshness from tasting at the winery.
I Coravined this, but will finish it sooner than later as it seems to be advancing too much.
Very enjoyable. Served with a fruit tart, and it played well. As CiH noted there is not a strong acid presence to this, although I am not as pessimistic about the future. The balance of the wine is fine, making me believe it will continue to evolve for a half-dozen years.

Quite oxidative. Didn't really hold up with the age. Lost the fruit but didn't gain much.

A leaker. Tastes slightly oxidized but not noticeably different from previous bottles. Missing the good mineral backbone but decent enough fruit.
