Lovely nose, aromas of ripe of elder flowers, lychee and mild honey. Amazingly fresh for a 30 years old wine, most likely because of the acidity. Must have passed it's peak but nevertheless enjoyable.

Really lovely nose. Most of the aromatics are faded, but the flavors are still remarkably fresh. Lychee, petrol, minerals, orange, rubber... Lovely and at it's peak for sure.

The Portland Crew with Tooch (Kirk's Place): L+ gold. Nose of strong fresh lychee with an undertone of peachy nuttiness (oxidative?). Palate: med body, dry, with med+ acidity, and med- bitterness. Some nuttiness on the midpalate gives way to a flavorful and clean finish. I like this wine. 90.
