The first was not good, the second was wonderful, this in between. Pretty good fruit and nose, but weak on the mid-palate and short to medium finish. Still very good just not as good as the last.

At first very closed, but after 20 mins this wine started to open, albeit not convincingly enough. Rather dissapointing. Its long past its prime. Beautiful yellow-gold color, aromas of sunflower and petrol with slight golden apples. Most of the fruit is gone.Palate is still rich, high acid and a short finish.Very mineral and bland. This wine was a gift, so no harm.Sante!

Wow. This was a huge surprise. Notes of vanilla and lemon on the nose. On the palate, lemon curd and vanilla as well. Very long finish. Superb.

Over the hill, to my taste. Predominant oak not well balanced by fruit and acidity. This used to be a really nice bottle. Oh well.
