Intense, pure apricot fruit, very sweet, very gold cap style, but lacking just a touch of penetration and electricity that more acidity would have given. Cellared since original release.

Off-bottle possibly from a dried-out cork. Advanced brownish color and oxidative nose and tasted like apple juice. No stonefruit bright freshness of the previous bottle.

Popped from the fridge and it showed very well without extended air. High natural ripeness of stone fruit and baked apple and not overly marked by botrytis. Mineral savor but not what I'd call a minerally profile. Noble Riesling characteristics... good purity but not quite crystalline but very generous in a dessert style. I don't know anymore how people drink Sauternes.

Fresh, sweetness, powerful Riesling character; fresh and with nuts in the mouth. Very, very young and difficult to rate.
