Brought this to share after our Commanderie Blanc tasting session to show a BDX Blanc with more age on it. I really enjoyed this (as did others) and the bottle has held up well. Dark golden color and a hint of oxidation, but that just made it more interesting. Nuttiness, beeswax, yellow apples, long finish

Not bad and probably better than that considering it's 25 years old Impressed with the color and the bouquet. Certainly at the end of its life but still an awesome treat

Matt's housewarming (Skokie, IL): Well, this is drinking just about as you would expect. It's in great shape for what it is. There's lots of waxiness here, as well as some dried yellow fruits. Nary a hint of herbaceousness left, there's some spice and fruit to replace it, as well as a fair tinge of acidity. At this point, more interesting than good.

Excellent aged white Bordeaux. It still drinking well, but with little life ahead of it. Tasted right next to a white 2005 Bordeaux to compare and contrast. This wine has the complexity that comes with age. One can start to feel the oxidation just a tad.
