June 12, 2022 - Light straw colour. Muted nose. Plate has usual lemon and butter notes. Having had a mini vertical recently this is just hitting the sweet spot for this wine, which in my opinion is 20 years. Hold it you only have a bottle or two, or start enjoying if you have more.

March 20, 2022 - Peach and pineapple cake. Viscous texture, low acid, highly toasted American oak notes, and sings this note for a long time. Lacks cut and definition, and is hard work…if this were a red, it would be the flabbiest Barossa or Rutherglen Shiraz you can think of. The rest of the bottle to be used for cooking wine, sadly. 14.5% ABV, would not be surprised if was considerably higher in alcohol.
