  A touch oxidative on the nose. Some fruit there but the oxidation is overpowering. And regrettably it is also corked. Waaaah! What a terrible shame.

  An advanced bottle. Potable but a big disappointment. At 1855 Pinot dinner.

  Popped and poured at cellar temp. Deep orange gold color. Nose is still quite reserved, with some hints of caramel, orange marmalade and limestone. Lovely sweet citrus fruit with a hint of caramel on the attack but incredible robust acidity on the finish keeps it from being cloying. Opened to have with chicken tikki masala - I think it will be a great pairing. Despite the advanced color, this wine still drinks like a youngster at 25 with many good years ahead of it.

  Deep golden with orange amber hue. The cork of this bottle was not as soaked (approx. 70%) as the cork from previous bottles, though all bottles have been stored under textbook conditions. This remains a bit shy and delivers medium intensity with scents of honey and peaches. On the palate in addition caramel, hints of orangepeel and campher. Tannic, medium intense finish. Only medium sweet, not ideal to go with a dessert, but with deer e. g. The 98 points (drinking window -2020) given by Stephan Reinhardt from the WA, are not comprehensible for me. 5/12/17/9, -2025 or maybe longer if the bottles are recorked.

  Dark orange color, more advanced than previous bottles. Butterscotch and apricot. Delicious with duck rilletes! No need to wait, but no need to be in a hurry.
