  10/8/2015 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 90 Points

  With a potential move looming on the horizon, I decided to get to a few older bottles. Golden color, not trying to hide its age in any way. On the nose a bit of citrus, but petrol really dominates. On the palate, the fruit has certainly faded but what remains is fantastic. The acidity is still prevalent with some earthy notes, particularly chalk. The finish, however, is what sets this apart. Hints of lemon linger as does that chalky acidity, for at least a couple minutes. At first I did not know what to think, but I eventually realized this is a remarkable wine. thedrunkencyclist.com

  First bottle corked. This one still a hint but not enough to disguise a rather ordinary wine with a pleasant chenin nose but rather sharp unbalanced acidity swamping the fading fruit

  Was a little worried this was getting past its prime, so I popped one. No detailed note, but the wine is doing fine. I was very pleasantly surprised. One more to go.
