Beautiful golden color, cork and capsule in good shape. Honeysuckle, vanilla, and almond, with slight shellac in the nose. Full mouth feel with honey, lemon curd, figs on palate. Long finish.

Golden color, lush tropical nose with butterscotch. Wonderful mouth feel and viscosity, figs, butterscotch, and a little oak/ lemon zest on the finish. Very enjoyable with scallops in papiotte with slivered carrots, scallions and beurre blanc sauce. Glad I have one more bottle of this!

Cellar stored since the early 1990's. Capsule intact, no ullage, but crumbling cork. Decanted 2 hours. Dense ruby with slight bricking at edge. Leather and earth on the nose. Full palate with black fruit, roasted meat, leather with a hint of licorice. Delicious accompaniment to roasted lamb chops with garlic and rosemary and mixed roasted winter vegetables.
