  Unbelievable this wine, still such a good quality for a very reasonable price, after all these years.
  Perfectly drinkable today. A nice surprise.

  Popped and poured. Oak butter aroma. Prominent oak up front with lemon butter notes. The oak and butter dissolve away in a lingering and interesting and surprisingly subtle finish with lemon and stone fruit flavors among others.
  
  Firm backbone, good depth. As indicated above, some clumsiness at the beginning is more than made up for by an intriguing and complex end. This has the potential to get much better as the oak integrates over time. And it's a great value even if that doesn't happen.

  Oaky, acid. Apple and banana flavors, hard to pinpoint the fruit. Ok party wine, unlikely to offend. Will let other bottles sit and see if they improve.

  Color amarillo pálido bien limpio y brillante. Buena intensidad de aromas de cítricos bien frescos y algo punzantes, ciruelas amarillas carnosas, hierbas frescas, flores blancas, cierto toque de piedra fresca de fondo. Fresca y ligera entrada que sigue en todo su recorrido con una fruta cítrica intensa y bien fresca y sabrosa, buena acidez, agradable, suave volumen, cierto toque untuoso y graso, suave textura y buena persistencia. Final medio-largo y postgusto de fruta cítrica.

  A: tropical fruit, yeast, botrytised, honey and bready.
  Palate: medium acidity, rounded, medium body, like eating a tropical fruit with elegant acidity.
  
  Fair to be a table wine, better to drink in the first day.
