4th half of 10, pnp and drunk over 2 nights, perfect cork and level, even more dark umber than previously, but fresh, vv complex, mouth expanding and with a persistence which is hard to remove (5 minutes plus), hard to see upside but no rush. VFI (19.5)........hard to relate colour to the freshness of flavours, perhaps cf Huet Vouvray Cuvee Constance or an old Tokay Essencia!!

1st half of 10, pnp, soaked cork, perfect level - gold, unctuous; fresh and pure, no bot, rich, tropical fruit nicely cut with intense fresh apricot, complex; med, vv long, persistent and concentrated, pure, huge energy to fruit, layered, flavours so intense, mature but no rush, essence of wine! VFI (19.5)....and the best mature eiswein I can recall.
