Very evolved, deep golden color. Heavily oxidized nose with unpleasant aromas of rancid nuts, mushroomy tones, some moldy bread and a little bit of pungent sweat. Obviously past its peak. The wine is dull, medium-bodied and quite acid-driven on the palate with oxidized flavors of moldy bread, some rancid nuts, light cheesy tones, a little bit of mushroomy Sherry funk and a tangy hint of aldehydic salinity. Quite good acid structure, but otherwise nothing commendable here. The finish is long, dull and unpleasant with quite bad flavors of unpleasant mushroomy funk and stale bread.
Completely in pieces. Hard to say whether this wine was representative of the vintage or if we just had a bad bottle.

yellow with pink reflexes. subdued nose, not very interesting. good mouthfeel, but again lack of taste. I feel I paid too much for this one...
