Furmint can age! This wine is well worth its weight in gold. Honeyed beeswax with bruised red apples and still ripping acid. Plenty left in this bottle, but for me, it is at its peak right now.

End-of-year dinner (Jubilee Garden, Safra Toa Payoh): This has come along nicely over the years. Once again, no one could place it blind. It had a pleasant nose with a sweet glow of honey, apricots and kumquats leading the way into a nice fresh, detailed palate of round stone fruit notes and hints of honey lined with citrus acidity and a lovely spine of stony minerality, all with just a tiny hint of mushroomy umami at the edges. There was a lovely balance and definition to this that made it joy to drink. Very nice - this was quite a bit better than the last bottle we had 6 years ago.

Not quite as good as the first bottle, but still quite delicious.

Deep gold, sweet smelling but dry. Somewhat oxidised and past it's prime, but still a good finish and crisp, red apple acidity

Showing signs of oxidation. Drink up whatever bottle are left of this vintage
