    Duft av honning og tørket frukt
    Friskt fyldig anslag av sitrus, honning, aprikos, nøtter, karamell, svisker, fin lengde, flott balanse og kompleksitet
    Fortsatt fin pondus i denne vinen

    December 23, 2021 - 2021 Family Xmas; 12/23/2021-12/26/2021 (Alicante - España): Time has taken its toll on this bottle, for better and for worse.
    To start with some negative aspects, colour has lost all its shine and is now accentuated in mahogany tones. Also the nose. Those wonderful aromas of the past have waned and now the warmth of dates and Corinthian raisins predominate. Elegant and subtle anyway. Definitively closer to a PX.
    On the positive side that real enjoyment of the palate. Creamy texture, impeccable acidity being 22 years old that continues to provide an extraordinary length and an aristocratic character on the aftertaste. Deep and tasty. My kind of wine but would only need to be accompanied by a greater aromatic complexity. C'est toute. Aspiring to greatness no more. Merry Christmas!

    El tiempo ha hecho mella en esta botella, tanto para lo bueno como para lo malo.
    Por empezar con lo negativo, el color que ha perdido todo su brillo y ahora se acentúa en tonos caoba. También la nariz. Han menguado aquellos maravillosos aromas del pasado y ahora predominan la calidez de los dátiles y de las pasas de Corinto. Elegante y sutil de todos modos. Claramente más cerca de un PX.
    En el lado positivo el goce del paladar. Textura cremosa, impecable acidez para tener 22 años que sigue proporcionando una extraordinaria longitud y un carácter aristócratico al retrogusto. Profundo y sabroso. La clase de vino que me va pero sólo necesitaría ser acompañado de una mayor complejidad aromática. Eso es todo. No aspirará a la grandeza nunca más. ¡Feliz Navidad!

    February 17, 2016 - It remains a succulent bottle. Honeyed aromas of honey, apricots and Penicillium. The palate shows a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. Pretty happy to have one more bottle in my cellar .
    A perfect choice to pair a foie appetizer and Cabrales cheese dessert.

    Sigue siendo una botella suculenta. Melosos aromas a miel, albaricoques y penicilium. En boca muestra un armonioso equilibrio entre dulzor y acidez. Feliz por tener una botella más en mi bodega.
    Una perfecta elección para acompañar un foie a la plancha como aperitivo y un queso de cabrales como postre.

    January 31, 2016 - Shea Pinot Provided by and at Gary's: Drank a small pour at a tasting. This tokaji was a little different than others I have tried. There was a lot of orange in it. It was literally bursting with orange and apricot. It had a baked goods personality, as in the fruit was not fresh but something spiced and baked. It seemed a bit unrefined, it did not have the balance of the 2005 Suduiraut we drank alongside it. Still, it did hit my exceptional level for its overall positive qualities.

    January 30, 2016 - Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir Tasting (Gary's Place): Dark gold color. Drank 1 glass from 500ml over 30 minutes. Bold nose, baked apricot, orange. The palate is sweet, a bit short on acid, baked apricot, tart orange, powerful, long. Compared to the Sauternes this was somewhat clunky and one dimensional.

    September 20, 2014 - Mørk gul. Madeirassosiasjoner på nese med aprikos og tropiske toner. Moden, men samtidig overraskende frisk. Dette var bra!
