Just enough fruit and full body, not overwhelming like many zins. — 5 months ago
Good green apple flavors. Standard Champagne flavor with no exceptional or interesting characteristics. A good accompaniment to spicy food from Laos. — 2 months ago

Amazing consistency, oxidative notes with apricots and apple cider. On the palate, green apples , sherry notes and citrus zest. What separated the bottles were the various levels of freshness. All were enjoyable but none had that “wow” factor. My rating is a composite. — 3 days ago
Short decant and definitely drinking young. Needs age as it was up to par with other bottles/vintages. Tannins definitely present and fruit was restrained. Still great though! — 3 months ago
