  Nearly identical to the last bottle, perhaps a touch less complexity.
  
  Still holding on, but I can’t see this improving. Drink up.

  Excellent! Wasn’t completely expecting it to be as sweet as it was, as it’s not labeled VT or SGN, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
  
  Overripe fruit and maybe a petrol-y note (but different than aged Alsatian Riesling) on the nose.
  
  Ripe stone fruit, honeysuckle, chalkiness on the palate. Still a decent bit of acidity on the backbone.
  
  I must say, the bottle I had held up exceptionally well. Despite the bottle being nearly 20 years old the cork was better than some 3-4 year old wines I’ve had lately.

  Rich, tart, moderate sweetness, good complexity. A touch of skin tannin at the end. Acid is lower than I'd like, but that's my only complaint. Delicious and interesting.

  IWFSC Governors Lunch (Takashi): Full golden color. full nose of rich yellos fruit and a hitn fo banana peel. Big yellow fruit with good structure and just a hint of butterscotch. This was very nice but they are certainly at or just passing their peak. Drink up.
