Drack från Magnum. Underbart mogna toner med torkade fikon, honung, mineral, marzipan och ändå en friskt citruston. Väldigt fint utvecklat och balanserat.

This was my last bottle from this batch and I always save the strongest looking bottle for last. It was clear that this one was much less evolved right away, as the center was light yellow with clear rims. At first the nose was a bit disjointed and showed some oak. However, after about 3 hours of air it came together nicely exhibiting bright lemon, marzipan, and some white stone. The flavors reflected the nose in a dramatic, full bodied way. A big impressive wine with substantial acidity lurking below mounds of fruit. Not surprisingly the finish was impresive as well. Clearly, this wine is drinking well now but well stored botlles, like this one, have 5 to 10 years left in them.

This smelt exactly like a d'yquem we just had a few hours back. Fresh apricots with clean minerals. A purity of the purest freshly made butter. Clean. This is a mineral bomb on the palate with aged lemons.

this bottle was past its drinking window. Quite evolved and loosing focus and precision now. Nose better than body. Would drink up.

Essentially an exact repeat of my prior tasting. Please see my January 2010 tasting note for more details.
