Found tucked away in cellar when looking for a sweet wine to take to dinner. Reviews not encouraging so opened to see whether it was alive. It certainly was. Gold colour but fresh an still some energy. Honeyed and sweet on entry but slightly drier on the finish. Lovey wine

On opening, sulphur, clear oxidation. Very bitter and not much flavor. Over 24 hours, honey, peaches & cream, vanilla bean, hazelnut, with a rich finish not unlike a drier Tokaji except for lingering bitterness and relatively low alcohol that keeps this fresh and enjoyable 26 years in.

Very delicate, light bodied, not much concentration, seems to be gently fading. A refreshing aperitif, but should have consumed a few years ago.

Past its best. Still drinkable but unexciting

Fruit all but gone. Not worth drinking. A faulty bottle?
