  Burnt amber/orange in colour. On the nose - peaches in syrup, warm marmelade, raisins. Still some acidity on a very weighty and mouthfilling palate of marmelade, tangerines, toffee, creme brulee and caramel. Delicious but I'm not sure it's benefited from all the extra bottle age.

  From a half bottle from a restaurant in Sorrento. StrIght from the cellar, the bottle was only slightly cooler than room temperature so any comparison with a well stored bottle would be pointless. The bottle's content was the same colour and darkness as coca cola. I accepted it anyway mostly due to curiosity. On the nose, strong bouquet of raisins and figs (and cola...) making me think of a sweet sherry. On the palate, same flavours with some sweetness left over as well as some acidity. Best point was a very good length indicating how good this wine would have been had it been well stored and consumed 10 years ago. 85 today

  Excellent. Still full and vigorous after all these years. A real pleasure to reacquaint ourselves with one of our earliest cellar purchases.
