  July 20, 2012 - Was lucky enough to live near a Spectator Grand Award winning restaurant that just so happened to have a bottle (or 2) of this in their cellar. It being a celebratory evening (wife got a job, I got a raise), we took the plunge and got to experience a wonderful, legendary bottle of wine.
  
  After nervously watching the waitress work the cork out of the bottle, a quick sniff & sip confirmed that all was well, no, better than well and we were off. This being my first ever foray into aged wine, I mean, really aged wine, I didn't know what to expect, but I knew from the luscious golden color that I'd be in for a treat. Beautiful nose of honey, almonds, and yes, still a bit of citrus. Palate was even more other-worldly, I've never tasted anything like this. Still plenty of fruit, a shocking amount of acidity, and yet a warm fresh-baked apple cobbler feel to it all. A friend described it as "Jedi wine," couldn't agree more. What a night.
