  First time encountered this wine, when bottle was gifted to me some months ago. Without much luck I have been searching for notes and window since. Pnp I got a nice mature nose with the full spectrum of ripe citrus, autolysis, dough, nuts and sherry. A rather broad palate reflected the same however with a distinct sweetness emerging on the mid palate and clinging all the way to the finish. Little sparkle left. All in all a positive surprise, although the the finish was a bit disappointing. From around 15-20 min the wine flattened out completely, in the sense that the palate got more bland, all fizz was gone while the sweetness in the finish held up. It was ok with sashimi and for sipping thereafter. My wife liked it. This bottle was clearly past its drinking window, although I think it has never been that exciting. First sips were perhaps in the 91-92p, the later sips more 90p.
