Hand the 2012, lots of cherry and cassis, well balanced, long finish. 2013, very similar and will benefit from 2-3 yrs in the cellar. Very drinkable, I let it breathe about an hour and it got more luscious as time went passed.

Wow! One of the few whites I drink, bleed red. Absolutely nirvana, I am at peace with this wine. Great nose, just enough tartness for balance and wonderful mouth feel. My go to for anything needing a great white. Can't do the bouquet Justice. Spend hours on a bottle Love it. — 10 years ago

Nothing to compliment the tannins. Oak splinters, graphite, bitter dark fruit, very slow to open up, even with decanting, not thin but a short, sharp bitter finish — 10 years ago
