No formal note, but this seemed a little hot and light on the fruit compared to the last bottle. Not sure if it was an off bottle, or just the conditions under which it was drunk.

Haven't touched one of these for 18 months, and it appears that time has actually been good to this wine. I assumed it would be past its prime, but it's showing plenty of fruit, with more richness and body than the last bottle. Didn't seem as flabby when it warmed up, which makes me think it's actually improved some. Pear, peach, and a zesty mouthfeel. Will be interesting to see how the next bottle shows.

Pale yellow colour. A 'wow' nose here with white flowers, peach, tropical fruits, banana and an almost perfumed character. Palate lives up to the nose with lots of intensity and rich white and tropical fruit flavours over honeysuckle notes with good acidity to add lift. The finish is long and elegant. Lovely.

Excellent! Waxing notes of banana and lanolin, but carried a nice amount of acidity that kept in nicely in balance.

Past its prime. It still has a great nose, but a slight bitterness detracts.
