I brought this for us to taste while we decanted many bottles for a wine dinner. In surprisingly good condition, a touch of oxidation but barely. So much intensity to the flavors. Beeswax, melon, lemongrass. This would have a higher score but it was almost too intense flavor for me. I have been drinking small glasses subsequent nights—really excellent but in small doses.

Deep golden colour. This wine was completely oxidised, but was immensely attractive. The bottle is transparent so from the colour only one could judge it was going to be oxidised. Out of curiosity I picked the bottle and asked for a discount. It is like a very fine palo cortado sherry without so much tanginess. Although strictly flawed, because of the pleasure it gave I give it 92 points.
