Very much a 2003, this layers and layers of honey and some oxidized notes as well: PB thought it to be off, I don't quite agree, but I don't fin the freshness, that others tasters have reported. #PBinthegarden

Having just opened a 2007 to find it oxidised I was nervous with this one - quelle surprise! Green gold luminosity, grassy nose with pineapple and kiwi fruit notes on the palate: the hoped for stone and minerality was there to support the fruit, and finishing off with enough crisp acidity even after 17 years. An exceptional wine - wish I had more

醒酒一个半小时,闻香有明显的氧化坚果味,加上植物性的味道,有一瞬间我觉得这是一款西班牙里奥哈的维尤拉,两个半小时后,闻香是梨和酸面粉团的香气,入口酸度高,收口甜,坚果气息,梨一类的核果香气,如饮果汁一般的口感,余味是炖梨的味道。氧化感明显,但依然保持了坚挺的酸度和果香,长时间醒酒和酒温回升后能感觉到明显的酒泥接触。我还是没有喝懂燧石,没有捕捉到太多长相思的线索。一支过巅峰期的酒,开始走下坡路了,与它的最佳表现有一定差距,我只能把这归为瓶差了。

淡金黄色酒体,青草,柑橘,蜂蜜的味道,一些矿物质气息,酒泥接触带来的面粉团的味道,随着醒酒时间的增加还能感受到一些烟熏质感。入口酸度中高,触感比较柔和,咸鲜的口感收尾微甜,残糖不少,有点半干的感觉。矿物感明显,椴树花一类的香气,桃子和杏一类成熟核果的味道,蜂蜜的香味,收尾有微苦和辛辣感,余味是柑橘,多种花香和蜂蜜,细腻而清新。把长相思做出了雷司令的高雅和纯净,香气又是如此层次丰富、婉转多变,酒液丝绸般柔软的触感背后迸发出力量感,确实是上乘之作,这瓶酒现在应该不是在它最最壮年的时期,而是中年时期,展现出更多陈年后的成熟特征

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Small glass, brief note. Obviously from a ripe vintage with lots of concentration, but nothing flabby here, this is shockingly bright and fresh for Sauv Blanc at this age.
