  Well past its best. Sulphurous nose, rather harsh bitterness on the palate which overwhelms any residual honey. A shame I didn’t drink it at its peak.

  Can't give it a point rating because I don't really like the wine, even though my guests were all *enthusiastic* about it. Dark Dark copper color. Nose is toasty and citrusy. Flavor profile starts out unctuous but thins out to me in an unpleasant way and has a slight bitter note that doesn't fit with the rich, somewhat sweet notes of the main taste. Will taste tomorrow, since open time seems to really help this wine.

  Since I'm not knowledgeable about this Demi-sec, a little hard to tell what level I should be expecting. The nose is toast, straw, citrus -- quite luscious. The color is a beautiful golden copper. The taste has a disappointing thin quality. Not much of a beginning middle or end. Is neither dry nor sweet (thus I guess demi-sec), but at least as this bottle is presenting, it seems neither here nor there. Flavor is kind of flat, with a bit of a bitter taste at the end. Not much evident fruit. Overall pretty blah. Can't say that it is defective or spoiled -- no evidence of that. AND for a contrary opinion, Cynthia viewed the flavors as wonderfully delicious. Interestingly, after letting the wine air out for a half hour, my comments above are being negated -- because the flavors started to show, and the wine got thicker and buttery. Fascinating change for the better.
