June 23, 2019 - Pale gold. Almonds, honey and white fruit. Palate typical new world style, full of ripe floral notes, nuts and slight smokiness with a very mild oakiness. Sharp acidity despite 5 years.
What lets it down is the diluteness. Like its been watered down. Short finish. Otherwise would have scored it higher.
Would I buy again? Not this vintage.

November 1, 2018 - This was the last of four that I picked up in a Sainsbury's 25% off six for under £15. I think it had spent a few years on the shop shelf; so perfectly stored bottles might be showing a bit better. This was fairly Burgundian in style and a voided being a cliche of a new-world style. Having said that, this wasn't remotely worth drinking when I returned to it a couple of nights later.
Drink now. This won't make old bones. -

Frisk smak och syra. -
