Monday, September 13, 2021 - This was just fabulous. The last of 2 bottles purchased on release. Shared over hors d'ouvres of shrimp cocktail and stuffed mushrooms.

The wine is well developed, with a medium amber color and a good bit of effervescence left! Notes of cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose, with softened notes of red apple. Oozing with honey, toffee, and other suggestions of maillard reaction in bottle over the decades. This was marvelous. You can sense the concentration of old, pre-phyloxera vine fruit. It is sappy and long. Surely the only time I'll ever taste this!
