  January 8, 2013 - Perfect provenance (PWSF auction bottle)
  No notes taken.
  2/3 to top lt. moisture cork with lt. embedded crystal sign.
  
  Look: Clear to barely lt. yellow '05
  Nose: Salt, honey, slate, lt. pineapple, lt. vanilla.
  Body: 2% milk mouth weight
  
  Taste: Salt, calcium, honey, slate, pineapple, lt. butter, lt. vanilla.
  
  Very clean, good acidity. At one point there was a lovely spike mid-palate of pure slate rock that developed after 30 minutes. This has always been a fave moscatel of mine.
  
  Went great with shrimp soup.
  
  While not as impressive as the one from a Magnum I had in the past, this still is an Excellent food wine (or even sip alone or with oysters).
  
  91 pts.
  
  Showing great now. Unless in a Magnum, probably she's not gonna gain a lot from more cellaring (unless you want more butter and toffee notes for the price of probably some nice acidity).
