solid, sweet viscous peach, pear, and some tropical notes; don't notice any petrol; pretty good acidity, albeit less than i prefer, given the hedonistic fruit.

Deep golden with a coppery sheen. There are some nice elements to this but it seems over mature. Initially ripe Fuji apple, honeycomb, later more at peach cobbler, peach ice cream, slight hints of petrol. Some sweetness, but as if old fruit, and lacks liveliness. So it is quaffable, but not evincing fine qualities others had noted earlier on. A bit weaker night two.

This delightful, delightful wonder has, alas, passed over to the other side. The acidity has eroded making it flabbier and more one dimensional. The memories, and the value, still keep it close to my heart...and still a very solid wine by any standard. Glad I walked into this bar.

petrol, peaches, mango; rich and ripe fruits, great acid, long finish. Decent balance.

Nose of butterscotch, petrol and ripe tropical fruit. Decent balance, but I would prefer more acidity. Long finish and still very enjoyable.
