The loose cork fell into the bottle with a small push from the Ah-so.
Unsurprisingly, this was more advanced than my last bottle with a orange tint golden color. Nonetheless, this has a lovely floral, honeyed nose with a little nuttiness. The RS and acidity are really well balanced. Fully mature wine that I suspect with a solid cork would have decades left in it. Lovely understated elegant wine. NR due to the cork condition.

Much more youthful than expected and quite expressive, touch a sweetness but within balance, nice depth and richness yet lift, beautiful match with cheese

Yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose showing a bit of honey up front with added notes of spice and a bit of flowers. Flavors of light honey notes, a bit of lemon rind and some roasted almonds. Medium acidity and body. Drink now. Not quite as good as earlier bottles but still good. Took on a completely new dimension with the food, really highlighting the spice notes in both.

Twelfth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Late night, brief note. Demi-sec. Roasted almond, candied lemon peel and some apple pie. Very good length and balance. Great with Vacherin tonight.

Simply fantastic. A real treat.
Lush golden yellow. Dense honeyed feel, but not overly sweet. some butterscotch, candied walnuts. Drink it if you can find it.
