other than being just a bit flat on acid this was still a very nice dessert wine. No sign of oxidation and with some decent notes of apricot and peaches the sweetness was still sound and the finish good. It just needed more acid to balance it.

Remained promising on the nose with lovely apricot, and on the initial attack also with candied apricots and honey, but then fell apart. Short in the middle and nasty on the finish. Something weird and almost toxic tasting. Definately has gone off. Deteriorated rapidly over the course of 1-2 hours. Probably was a nice auslese level wine back in the day. The lack of staying power says something profound about old vs new world dessert wines.

Past its prime - purchased at tasting room and remember this being a tropical fruit blast and loving it- now there was notmuch left- it was thin, tropical flavors nearly gone- even the sweetness of it seemed like it went to bed- hey we finished the 375 but not what I would expect from a boytris wine with a decade on it

Apricot and double bubble; what a bizarre combination. A bit on the thin side for a supposedly botrytized wine. Not much of a finish. A fair dessert offering.

Getting long in the tooth, still quite nice. Bit flat, mild botrytis, not maderized but starting in that direction. Last bottle.
