12/31/2014 - BartQ Likes this wine:

Had this last night, New Year's Eve at Sopra. Visually, light glassine yellow. When first poured into white Burg stemware, a rather subdued nose, but in a while, expanded into yeasty and old bread aromas. On the palate, yeasty, broad spectrum somewhat oxidative flavours, consistent with age of the wine (16 years old), ripe Mirabelle pear, saline, bitter honey and with fine but gently beading bubbles. I liked this. This seems to be well into its drinking plateau but seems capable of continuing to be (hedonistically) pleasurable for @ 5 years plus.
