The nose had some interesting notes of caramel, sourdough, and baking spices. It was lighter in body than I expected, with some green apple and butterscotch on the palate. It was a little "thin" and has a slightly sour astringent finish. Not bad, but a bit over the hill, I think.

A worryingly dark colour, mid to full gold with a slightly brown hue. A little muddy and aldehydic on the nose too. Touch and go, quite fat with plenty of extract, but quite a ripe and full style that lacks elegance. Half left over for day two by when it had cleaned up, lightened to a mid to full straw, and whilst still full and ripe, the mineral grip was more in line and there was no sense of anything oxidised. Curious. ***

Tasting more like a premier cru. Lovely.

Corked. Really severely corked. Too bad.
