aye, past its prime, but still drinkable. At this point, more like an old world Chardonnay with a bit of bite and bitter now that it likely didn't have before. It was probably a good one in its day.

16.3% ABV. Medium gold color. Slight petrol and reticent apricot on the nose. Tangy attack. Brisk, bit dilute showing some late alcohol. Okay. Past prime.

Big nose, with ripe pineapple, among other tropical fruits, and some heat. Ripe and syrupy, it is heavy and viscous, but also acidic. Pineapple, apple sauce, lychee flavors have a faint cidery edge. Lively and edgy, with the only the slightest sense of fading. It was better two years ago, where there wasn't the slightest hint of cider, and the acidty was rancorous.

Tart, bitter, oxidized without much of anything left to make it worth drinking. Way past prime. One that was lost in the cellar.

Aroma of apples. I waited too long on this one probably. Had a big pineapple taste on the start. Nothing else. Not very drinkable.
