Notes of green apples, honey, pears, honeydew. Like liquid mermalade. This is freaken fantastic. Perfect balance between sweet and sour. The acidity is key to its success. Medium-light bodied but so assertive. Dusty on the finish.
This stayed open on the table for two days accidentally. Guess what? Not a single sign of it going bad. Wow! Incredible effort!

Dark straw color. Nose of peach, apricot, brown sugar, mild marmalade. Similar on the palate. A touch oxidized on the finish which diminished the score a little. We had a discussion as to whether the post 2005 vintages (sealed with Stelvin closures) will age like the older vintages sealed with corks.

this wine was clearly beyond its prime. I love QdC, but this one was mainly gone. Got this bottle at auction, so I can't verify its handling. I wouldn't have thought the the '99 would normally be past it's prime.
