Loved it. Probably bought a case on release and it appears that I haven't had one in many years. Sad to say that I didn't keep detailed notes, but this is doing well at 13+ years. Lovely nose and flavors. Acidity is just fine, but perhaps softening a touch. Still lovely with an Asian meal the other night.

Starting to look its age with a yellowing color and a glycerine sheen. Ripe and round with the fruits morphing from cintrus to stone fruits or white peach and apricot. Just a hint of petrol and beginning to dy out. Nice weight and roundess on the palate but the finish could be longer. Missing just a bit of deliniation too. Should drink well for years to come but in a nice spot now.
