Much better bottle than last year... nutty, marzipan, dried honeysuckle, good acidity and exquisite balance. Drinking beautifully now (this bottle) and I think can improve but delivering lots of pleasure already.

Past its prime but still delivering pleasure... nutty, marzipan, dried apricot, and long, honeyed lip smacking flavour. I don't see it improving much with time, and my bottles were cellared well. Drink up!

Amazingly youthful for its age. Cold cellared since release. Nice, nutty finish. No sense of oxidation. Great complexity. Properly cellared, it should last. Lingering finish.

Nearly identical to my note of Christmas Day 2017.

Hezi's 65th Birthday Celebration (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Nutty with apricot and marzipan, just reasonably mature and time to drink up.
