Tried many times to upload a picture last night, without success. Feed wasn’t refreshing either.
This had begun its decline. Oxidized aroma when the cork was pulled. Cardboard and lemons on the nose. Palate was lively with exotic sweet fruits and baked apples. Remaining acidity kept this from falling off a cliff. Drink these now.

An improvement from our prior experience, but still questionable. A honied, exotic nose, gives way to a rich, dense, but angular mid-palate. Angular, due to the sharp acidity, combined with a pronounced, oxidative note. Overall, we consider this to be disjointed. We expect better at half the price.

Good but not great. I detect a degree of oxidation on the nose and palate. Some passion fruits on the mid-palate, but the fruit is submerged below a layer of oak. Subtle acid profile completes what is a disjointed effort.
