Loving it. Not as rich and delineated as 1920 but still a great wine. In local Singapore terms I described. Gula Melaka, coconut cream and Chinese dried olive in mid palate. Chendol after taste. Subtle but you will find it. All you would expect from a half century sweet wine. Just let it breathe for at least 4 hours or more to develop the flavor and aroma.

A bit of VA, which mostly blew off with about 3 days of decanting. Definitely in the sweeter, luscious, round Blandy's style, but this had more than enough acidity to provide balance. Tangy, with lovely caramel, nut and fruitcake flavors, which went wonderful with a bolo de mel. Above average length and a beautiful overall experience.

Small pour served into Lucaris white glass (“Root” day):
Tertiary creamy. Very “sweet” caramel, florals.
Screaming acidity. Persistent finish.
94 points.

Drank at 67PM
Still young and fresh with a deep rich nose of cake, figs and prunes.

(Bottled 2013) Less sweet than I expected, gorgeous full nose, strong acid backbone, lovely wine. Will last forever.

Quick taste. Rich nose. Very nicely balanced, moderately spicy, complex. Honey, turf, citrus notes.
