April 28, 2022 - Off btl. Darker color signifying poor storage as I bought in the secondary market.

April 2, 2022 - Fat and flabby. Poor storage is my suspect.

October 23, 2020 - My second recent try of this bottle. (A few weeks apart.) This one showed better than the last one but still only a shadow of its former self. Golden yellow - almost like apple juice. Nutty overtones, the acidity is there but no longer feels fresh. The fruit is faded, but what’s there is fairly good. But, again, nowhere near as good as younger examples of this wine.

November 7, 2019 - I love Aubert and while I bought this online, this was not in the best shape. A bit darker color, musty nose, good palate feel, less fruit, older yet drinkable over the hour we enjoyed it.
