had completely incorrect recollection. Bigged it up! Wished I'd read my previous notes.
Now just as oxidised as before but much faded so rather unpleasant! (2308 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew Gibbs on 4/15/2014: Decant always. Has lees, but also really benefits from the opening of the wine, which is great and probably will carry on improving over next few years
The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, melon and hay/straw. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Still a wonderful complex nose, with marzipan and liquorice. Not as much fun as the chenins we had around it though. Don´t hold on too much longer. (3591 views) | | | Tasted by ChateauTooting on 2/19/2012: Wonderful wine. Drank it over 3 days and it showed no signs of slowing down. Complex with notes of orange peel and hazelnuts and very satisfying. Can imagine this would be very good with food. Hold it and let it get better. (5371 views) | | | Tasted by colmanstephenson on 10/27/2011: A quite unique wine bristling with flavors, one of which is a little dangerous. A ciderised/oxidative note appears after air or with warmth.
Terrific, but treat with care and serve with food.
A: light straw, no sign of maturity
N: Honeyed and grass but shows that unpleasant cider note when it warms.
P: Off-dry entry, medium bodied, medium-high acid. Brisk finish with lingering sweetness (4895 views) | | | Tasted by colmanstephenson on 5/15/2011: Distinctive nose with some sherry/oxidised notes. (worried about condition briefly)
Complex and layered flavours of honey and nuts. Medium acidity.
Very good, but unusual (3453 views) | | | Tasted by Marco357 on 12/29/2010 & rated 91 points: needs carafing - takes time to open itself - then great body and multiple aromas - should be drank now (2606 views) | | | Tasted by nlarsen on 2/14/2009 & rated 94 points: Gold color, apricot on the nose. Full across the palate, gorgeous oak, perfectly ripe fruit and a lovely minerality. So much complexity and yet still balanced. Might get better but drinking so well now, not a lot of acidity in this vintage. Was best at low room temp. (3028 views) | | | Tasted by MLD11 on 1/25/2009 & rated 92 points: Savoury and mineral. Will be very fine. (2429 views) |
