Surprinsingly drinkable despite the age. Pale golden colour. Nose of citrus and pineapple, medium-bodied in the mouth with some fruit still there though fading, some mineral. After about 2 hours, the fruit faded giving way to a more musty aroma. I suppose this wine is not as fresh and intense as it once was. Probably 4 or 5 years past its prime, but still drinkable. Would certainly have scored higher at a younger age. Paid 5€ for this bottle.
