Tried this last night for my white:
1. Bedrock Compagni-PortisVnyd/SonomaVlly WW (13.8%; Plntd: 1954; Pharmed: Phil Coturri) 2011: Med.light gold color; quite fragrant floral/spicy/marigolds/slight pungent light nutty/oxidative/petrol bit earthy/dusty slight pencilly/oak quite complex nose; lightly tart fairly rich/lush some nutty/pungent/petrol/oxidative some floral/appley/marigolds/bit pungent/musky slight lemony/earthy/dusty quite complex flavor; very long/lingering some petrol/nutty/oxidative some floral/marigolds/pungent/musky some pencilly/oak quite complex finish; lost a lot of that perfumed/aromatic fruit of its youth but has developed a really interesting pungent complexity; no signs of going over the hill anytime soon; quite an interesting/exotic older/mature white.

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I was pretty impressed on the track of maturing this wine has taken. I was expecting it to still be a lot of primary fruit. It reminded me mostly of an older Alsatian GWT w/o the GWT aromatics, a bit of an older Alsatian PG. Some of an older Oz Semillon w/o the oak & acid. Some of an older (non-VinoMacerati) Friuli RibollaGialla. Whatever...pretty exotic stuff.
