Medium-light gold color. The nose is starting to show oxidative aromas, but remains mostly comprised of ripe pear, apricot and peach. On the palate this is broad and fruity, with a faintly toasty note of almonds and butterscotch. This has enough acidity remaining to keep it balanced, though it's definitely way past being described as "fresh." Enjoyed with pan-seared grouper, I'd drink this within the next year or two.

Nose and palate consistent with previous reviewers. Still fresh despite the additional years of aging. Drink now, but you could probably hold it a little longer. A very good wine for the price.

Bouteille ouverte hier au soir avec des amis, autour d'un buffet de fromages et de charcuterie. Une belle robe dorée, qui tend à foncer un peu par rapport à la dernière rencontre en salon il y a un an. Le nez est bien présent, marqué par des arômes d'abricot mur, de litchi. En bouche, l'attaque est vive, bien tenue par une acidité présente; en revanche, après cette attaque franche, le milieu de bouche est très discret, légèrement "acqueux" et la finale plutôt courte sur les épices, et marquée par une très légère amertume.

Aromas of sultana. Pear and apple on the palate. Overcooked - if you have some drink it.

Ok, but at this date, It's over the hill. The '06 is still showing very well.
