Pretty close to my experience from 3 years ago. Has an oxidized element, but also has good fruit and acidity; I think this is a very well made wine, but you really gotta like the slightly maderized style and the full body of this mutated varietal. Made for complex, rich-sauced dishes. It was also great with a French triple cream.

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light gold -faint stony yellow fruit transient wisps of brown spices -low acidity up front then some sneaks in the back end, med/med- weight soft textured mineral stone with a faint remnant of background lemon and touch of lanolin maturity, really opens up after 2 hrs -interesting with subtle complexities, age shows up in loss of fruit more so than earthy/mushroom/lanolin mature elements or oxidation, an intellectual wine that has evolved considerably in 3 years and is drinking well now

It was interesting to try this again with a little age. The glue smell was mostly burned off after it was open a couple minutes. It was slightly oxidated and might not have lasted too much longer.

Drinking amazing. Still with floral notes. Slightly sweet taste of peaches, papaya and vanilla. Very little oak present.
