Was in my regular fridge for a long while. Needed time and temperature to open up, can't serve it to cold or room temperature, but closer to room temp is best. Nose: very floral, honey and tropical fruit Palate: closed when cold, as it opened with temperature the tropical fruits continue, lush, good body, but lower acid wine. Closer to room temp the alcohol started to show (14.5%).

felt like this wine had actually passed its prime. not nearly as compelling as the first two bottles. Still a fine wine, but hurry up and drink whatever you have left.

I find this a very strange wine. Very viscous and glyceral in feel, fat on the palate with little definition. Flavors are a weird combination of caramelized bananas and distict wood. Not to my taste.

Rich golden color. Floral bouquet of honeysuckle and pineapple, full in the mouth quickly transitioning to a soft, silky finish. Outstanding wine.
