January 8, 2024 - A very interesting wine.
While it's clearly well past its drinking window, it was still very interesting to taste. Intense savory notes combining citrus zest, herbs and spices.
The hue showed some evolution as expected, but appropriate for its age.
The palate is where the fatigue shows up with the acidity dominating and little textural balance to be found.
It must have been a beautiful wine 10 - 20 years ago. -

May 20, 2014 - From memory, consumed last evening. I popped my last bottle about 15 years ago at a tasting. The wine was undrinkable, and we all believed, unredeemable. Glad I sat on my other bottles. Today, this wine is fabulous and beautiful. Deep golden hue. Explosive, complex bouquet. Not at all maderized or showing its age. Still great structure, refreshing, and balanced. A wide panoply of scents and flavors. Like nothing I've ever tasted.

March 22, 2013 - The Usual Suspects...a new tradition; 3/22/2013-3/24/2013 (Lucerne Inn): Color: Golden yellow
Smell: Beautiful dried tropical fruits, wet animal, wax, lanolin
Taste: Pear, apple, and tropical fruits
Overall: Medium body, medium fruit, low acidity, moderate finish. Very Good to Excellent. If I had this I would be inclined to drink these now. I have VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE with this wine. However, this is a wine that faded and fell apart in about 6 hours time. -
