  Amber in color, this stunner offered a perfume of caramel, butterscotch, pineapple upside down cake, burnt, candied orange rind and honey. With intensity, acidity, sweetness and length, this was stunning! If you see this at auction, and it has good provenance, try and buy it!

  Brown, amer coloured in the glass. Scents of plums, sherry and raisins. Beautiful attack with a great follow-through, stupendously complex and compelling along the way. The flavour was dense, packed, sweet and ranged from abricot to orange peel to hazelnuts and acacia honey. My scribbled note from the night contained the word "complex" three times. This is like liquid brown sugar. However the wine doesn't cloy at any point, and it stays fresh with good acidity left, and a very long aftertaste. SUPERB.
