Copper coloured, cork was in great condition and less than half soaked. Popped and poured straight from the wine fridge. Nose of marmalade and honey on toast. The nose blind I would have guessed a Sauternes. Still had a great freshness with no petrol or stickiness. High intensity acid with the taste reflecting the nose. Again had a Sauternes feel without the richness and sweetness. There is a little bit of rs but it's well kept in check with the acid. Finish was long, and kept me going back for more. This was delicious, but I can't see it getting any better. I wish I had more, but was a great bottle as a once off.

Waxy citrus, some honeysuckle development.
Starting to thin out. Very easy to drink but nothing special.
