  This went down well but was a little flat for me. Caramel colour and had caramel and nutty notes but had lost a little balance and zip with age.

  The wine looks caramel colored. The legs are medium. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, orange and prune.
  It was probably past its prime

  Amber colored bottle. Holding up very nicely at 51, but probably passed peak a decade or more ago. Quite sweet and unctuous, with not quite enough acid to match and the fruit drying out a bit. Apricot frangipane, toasted hazelnuts, light botrytis, bitter orange marmalade. Opens up a touch after 2 hours with more citrusy aromatics.

  Still amazing. Hints of fruit, nuts, caramel. Lovely complexity.

  Fresh, fruity nose (B++/A-). Somewhat lean, but tasty palate (B++)
