A light but healthy gold. Nice delineation on the fully mature bouquet. This is nicely floral with hints of fresh mushroom a touch of iodine adding complexity. Nice medium weight fruit, well balanced and a decent length of finish. There is still a sense of older oak barrel and just a hint of iodine on the palate, but the finish seems just a touch faded. Very good for what it is and fully mature now.

Hazy notes from last night's dinner. Lots of mineral still, and developing a butterscotch flavour on the back palate. Medium bodied, still tastes rather young (B+/A-)

Oxidised, prematurely? Second bottle, first one corked.

Slightly sulphury dull neutral wine - where are the minerals and the precision. I hope this was an atypical off bottle
