  Wow,
  almost hard to describe, and very surprising.
  tucked away a bottle more or less as a fun experiment to see what would happen with time.
  Nose with sherry and hay, apples, nuts , sweet honey, touch of stones, some turpentine (not in a bad way though) a bit of ocean and sea shells.
  A bit like an oak aged and oxidative Champagne mixed with sherry.
  Very complex and interesting.
  Opens up given time, with multiple layers.
  Palate is also very special.
  Dry Sherry, but with a good and high acidity present.
  Minerals, honey and mature apples.
  Hard to describe this wine, a lot of fun stuff is going on.
  Surprise, I would have guessed that this was way over time, but not. (I did claim this 5+ years ago)
  Fun wine!
  Quite good even.

  riktigt gott vin, lite för söt för att vara en Bourgogne men jag var där och gissade och tyckte vinet verkligen levererade. Överraskande bra!

  Fick lite känsla av en bra Pinot Gris från Alsace. Rätt blommig och druvig i doften med äpple, honung och citrus. Lite pepprigt avslut.

  Ahh, something has happened since my last bottle, about a year ago.
  I believed these bottles was over the top, but perhaps I was wrong?
  This particular bottle displayed a rather fine and intriguing nose, rather like a fine Champagne actually?
  Very nice.
  The palate showed a somewhat peppery and creamy fat fruit profile.

  Ok, but I still believe that these bottles are past prime and on their way down.
  Still, some crispiness and sweet fruit that keeps it drinkable.
