Golden in colour. Aromas have just the slightest hint of petrol, along with sweet fermented apple and slight hints of mint. Flavours of tangerine, honey nectar, pear, peach and citrus. Good acidity. A wonderful wine.

Golden in colour. Aromas of apple cider, pear and just a touch of petrol. Flavours of muted peach, mango, overripe apple, and pear. Very smooth and mellow. Probably a bit past its prime, but still a great wine.

A truly exquisite experience, drinking a wine this old. It has the texture of nectar, with a sweet apple-y core that fills your mouth with aplomb. It's time to drink this, for sure, though, it won't get any better and will start to decline imminently.

Opened for 10 hrs. I don't think it needed this amount of time. Great wine for this age. Hints of Dill, lemon, petrol.

Very complex, great balance. Prefer this wine aged to recent 2005 vintage.
Appearance: med. gold
Nose: petrol, mint, and dill
On the palate: tea, dill, nectarine (on finish), lemon oil, moderate acidity
(See the 2005 vintage notes)
