Nose is tired with some wet wood aromas, nuttiness. Judging only from the nose I would dismiss this wine straight away but palate is still very powerful with high acidity and intense nutty and citrucy flavours.

Much better in palate than nose which shows supressed friut,vegetality, oakiness and chips. Ripe and creamy with balancing acidity, forward fuit and generous alcohol.Evolved and mellow overall.

Absolutely beautiful and delicious. Bouquet of starfruit, kiwi, mango and lemon oil. At this age, no grass on the nose. Balanced acid and tropical fruit on the palate. This is amazingly complex and delicious despite Parker saying it's old. Wish I had more.

Smooth and subtle with overtones of melon and apple. The wine has an acidic mouthfeel on the finish, yet is elegant, not overpowering.
