It lacked fruit and tasted dull when it opened. After 30min or so, it started showing some fruit and lightness. Overall, it lacked flavor and liveliness.

This was slightly off in a strange way - almost no fruit in the nose and a oxidative note - but palate seemed to be quite normal - didn’t feel like TCA - strange

Fairly mature gold. Lots going on in terms of aroma--green and riper fruits, lanolin and fresh oak. Could be a little fuller on the palate but that is a quibble. Seems fully mature to my palate.

10/10, good cork. Bright, medium straw, touch of gold. Nose shows ripe tropical fruit - more pineapple than grapefuit, some butter, grassy notes, spice. Medium/full bodied, this is ripe with lovely weight across the palate, pimeapple, creamy edge, spice, lovely vibrant acidity, extended finish. Drinking well now I would say drink up over the next couple of years.

Rather austere and quite dry. Clean taste and decent depth, but I would like more fruit.
