Allen alludes to flaws in this wine - my score assumes a review of the wine without flaws and if it had been a young wine I would simply not have scored it ("NS"), but this is seriously old white wine, and it deserves the benefit of the doubt! Clearly a big wine with massive flavors. This shows nicely impressive mid-palate density, viscous dry extract and real sweetness - the product of a late harvest. The nose is heady and highlights what a shame it was that this was corked.
