Holding up pretty well, but I fear that the cork may have allowed a bit of O2 to sneak in over the years as the palate was robbed of its potential by subtle oxidation. Good core of ripe, luscious fruit framed by fine acidity and a long drying palate. No sign of petrol or cream. Drink up now.

Poured yellow-gold with a hint of green. Delicate nose, very minerally and subtle citrus. Palate was showing tertiary elements with aged characteristics, no petrol or oxidation, good fine acid and a delicate lusciousness. Drink now or over the next 2-5 years.
