Wow! Shockingly alive and well. Cork had blackened so wasn't sure what I'd find... Inside it remains beautiful. Deep color, rich and round, no oxidation. Good balance of dry and sweet.

Lemon-gold in appearance. Lemon nose. Very rich, round mouthfeel, slightly waxy and creamy. Lemon, orange, juicy and ripe. Fairly long finish. Dry but with a sense of fruit sweetness in the medium finish. Very nice and has held up quite well. Started fading after a couple of hours. Drink up.

Fully mature, this was found in the cellar years later than I would normally drink it but it is still going strong. The nose was fully blooming, showing a stong quinolin waxy component, quite thick and concentrated, the wine was not showing any oxidated charatcteristics. The elegance and intergated fruit paired v well with smoked pork chops, and the bottle did not last long. Honestly, this is wine improved with the cellaring, and is a very good buy

Found this in the back of the cellar, assume it is my last bottle, but the wine never tends to last this long. Really, does not taste any different than on release, bit deeper yellow and that sweet lemonfruityness on the nose. Hints of cream... if this is what how it changes, I may want to try and purposely age some. Good powerful mid-palette, yes, I notice some creamyness/almond like a top white burg, relatively well rounded out. Medioum finish. Does not need drinking up yet.

A rather unremarkable bottle for ZH. 50+11+10+6+6 = 83
