  This has certainly evolved, putting on weight and moving towards stone fruit and longer finish. Wasn't sure what to expect, considering the age, and was a pleasant surprise!

  My last bottle of this--still great but I recommend you drink up. Not getting any better but a bit more linear than I recalled from the earlier ones. Yes, it is starting to fade I am afraid. Beautiful Chicago summer wine with dinner on the patio.

  Medium straw. Firm, resonant, and stony notes of lychees, white nectarine, guava, minerals and touches of cream and sage. Has an element of smoke and a long stonefruit pit finish. Lacks the punch of other vintages but still enjoyable.

  Maybe it was the food, but this wine drank spectacularly tonight. Great fruit and acidity. Perfect balance. Delicious. I know i rated it much lower previously; human after all.

  I love Fume Blanc. This is one of my favorites. Clean, crisp, citrus with a bit of a floral nose. Well balanced but just a bit acidic--no surprise for a Fume. Wonderful finish that hangs on and melds nicely with the Brie and crackers. I do not understand why some don't care for it. I'm guessing they just don't like the very dry Fume style.
