I was sure that I would like this better, just given how I love the 1994. Don't get me wrong, this was still good... Brown color, very sweet, artificial sweetener, quince, cider, rather light in the palate, dense acidity, needs a lot of air...
Asia Food, uncooked risotto, quince, a bit acetate, tons of botrytis, almonds, very very very long finish. Needs air and time but is already great now!
