Cork was weeping inside the capsule significantly. At 10+ years, I was certain the wine would be oxidised, but instead I got a pale lemon colour and no trace of oxidation.
Some evidence of barrel fermentation or aging, discreet balanced. White flowers, some slight honey from the oak, lots of freshness. Solid wine. Drink or hold, singing at the moment. 13.5% abv.

GreenDrazi comes to NC! (Sullivan's- Raleigh, NC): Popped and poured. This wine exhibited a pale gold color with nice citrus aromas coming from the glass leading to hints of lotus blossoms and minerality. On the palate, rich, ripe lemon flavors were complemented with herbal elements leading to a clean, balanced mineral finish. Nice complement to the seafood platter. HS91

K-B Spring ’07 Allocation Pick-up in Raleigh (Sullivan’s, Raleigh, NC): No decant. Bright nose of lemon, grass and smoke. A soft, supple start on the palate with flavors of light lemon grass, some oak and good smokey acidity that are balanced and well integrated along with a touch of spice increasing on the finish.
