Definitely a few years past its best, but still quite pleasant. Lots of mature flavours here, with dried herbs, pine needles, smoke, and candied lime notes framing some citrus and pear fruit. The fruit flavours have a tired, slightly dried out quality to them, but this does freshen up a little with air, and there's still bright acidity beneath balancing the moderate remaining sweetness.

Really fascinating wine, showing a beautiful spectrum of tropical and stone fruits, but also strong oxidative/old wine notes. Interesting wine. Loads of acidity, but I'm sure this was a much better wine 10 years ago.
