Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet and spicy nose very aromatic with floral tones, green herbs, peaches, green apples, and the unmistakable presence of cat piss; smooth and rich in the mouth; the white wines from this property keep getting better all the time; lots of fresh fruits with nice spicy undertones; long smooth finish with a very nice mouthfeel at the end. (17/20) Tasted again at the Commanderie Knickerbocker dinner, but these bottles did not have the freshness or the quality that my earlier notes reflect, and the wine seemed thinner and more citric than my earlier notes show.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet fruit on the nose but very assertive, lemons and lemon peel, grasses, hints of honey and green herbs, balanced and poised; full flavored wine with a balanced mix of sweetness and lemony freshness; good depth in this wine with citrus fruit flavors that stay focused; smooth; nice citrus finish. (17/20)
