Petrol notes on the nose, which faded a little over time, it really benefited from a bit of air and kept changing throughout a dinner. Quite rich on the palate with dried peel and dried apricot fruit. Decent fruit on the attack but the flavours were pretty short. A good foil for our scallop, pickled cucumber and chervil starter

I can't believe this bottle is still holding up after this long. Experts said drink it a long time ago, but if you find some of this at the back of the cellar then you're in for a treat.
Very warm and buttery, with honey and toast on the nose. Acid is still there keeping the wine alive, and the balance is brilliant. Loved it with BBQ chicken. Lucky I still have one left!

Deep, yellow-gold colour. ripe, forward nose of buttery mango and honey. Full, fruity palate with good acidity. Dry slightly nutty finish.
