Medium yellow, residual hint of green hay Intense aroma Lemon zest, wet stone, creaminess of white nectarine but not the sweetness on the palate, hint of almond Acidity M+, alcohol high (14%) but no impact on taste Beautiful balance Would never have guessed that this wine is 17 years old. So much life left.

Tasted from magnum. Golden with copper edge. Very aromatic nose of tropical fruit, yeast, and candied fruit. Pineapple, tangerine, honey,, stone fruit and spice on the palate. Rich, with a smooth finish. Thanks, David.

Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of camphor, spice, yellow pear and yellow apple. Flavors of yellow pear, lemon and a bit of an earthy finish. Medium acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold.

Very good for about half an hour, then this bottle went on a steep oxidative nosedive. Deeply aromatic, honeysuckle floral notes, full bodied and rich and loaded with potential - can't help but wonder if my bottle wasn't ideal.

Advanced colour; wet stone & spices; rich, well built, maintains shape; finishes well. Should age further.
