October 15, 2022 - As others have mentioned, cork was in absolutely terrible condition even with a perfect storage history. After some cleaning and careful uncorking, pours out of the bottle a rich golden color. Not as dark as a I'd expect from a 32 year old white.
On the nose, rich butter with a hint of mushroom. Palate is similar. Not super sweet, but with any less sweetness the minerality and age would be a lot more noticeable. Shockingly, although the acidity is nearly gone, there is a ghostly presence of apple for the first hour of opening.
Nearly dead after 2 hours of opening. Oxidizes quickly. Drink now, this ain't getting any better. -

New York City Wine Tour Day 2, Episode #369, 12/12/2007 (link) 91+ points(Aigle Vouvray) COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-dried up lemon; funkiness; TASTE-so heavy on lemon; this is beautiful wine; the mouthfeel is where this wine excels; has the complexity & lushness that curves around your palate; has subtle back end acidity to match w/ foods; a real shot of Pineapple candy on the finish; some nice residual sugar; GV-91+
