Five years past vintage, so this bottle could be past its prime. A little aroma of smelly feet, that blew off quickly. Then an aroma of yellow grapefruit. Off-dry, medium body, with grapefruit flavor and soft mouthfeel. Long grapefruit finish/aftertaste. Good without food. But the grapefruit aftertaste obnoxiously overpowered my fish, salad, and stir fried Thai eggplant. Unexpectedly, my after dinner chocolate nut candy held its own against the grapefruit, so was a good match.

Loved the 2007 Vintage, so perhaps this may need to be stored for a year before drinking. This is not ready for prime time - non the less - buy it now - it'll be delicious in a year.

This vintage is definately better than the 2008. Drink them now as some bottles are loosing the spritz on the palate sensaton.
