  I ordered this at Gabriele restaurant adjacent to Hotel Adlon Kempinskiin Berlin. The color was quite golden -- like an old Sauternes -- and it smelled oxidized. It tasted quite old -- not at all what a 3-5 year old bottle would have been like. But the bottle was to flawed -- just gracefully(?) old. It improved over the few hours it was open as I enjoyed a 3 course meal. It was €169 vs. €350 for a 2007 vintage, so they knew it was over the hill. An interesting experience, but not one I will repeat.
