High neck fill. Dark gold color. Popped and poured. Initially primarily musty nose and muted flavors, but after about 10 minutes in the glass the mustiness blew off and the flavors started coming through. Though still muted, flavors were very pleasant and enjoyable. Overall a lovely aged white.

High fill, good color. Popped and poured and the wine was still vibrant and fresh. Flavors were a tad muted but easily held on for the hour+ it took to finish the bottle. none of the tobacco, shoe leather etc you might get with a 45 plus year old Bordeaux. Delightful with aging still possible.

From Magnum. Muted bubbles, light amber color, great mouthfeel. Delicate fruit and muted caramel flavors. Lots of life still.
