Ok, I knew the wine would be way past its prime but I was curious to see how it showed at ten years of age. Colourwise it was light gold. Aromas in the nose were of oxidation but fruit had not died completely. Beautiful mouthfeel, full bodied and almost oily, sherry-like but can tell this is not pleasant oxidation. Some citrus fruit left. Of course there are better wines to drink, but if I was served this wine in a taverna instead of the plonk they sometimes serve I would be jumping with joy..

A nice colour. Very fresh nose. Very fresh, clean and crisp on the palate. Light and very clean. Nice acidity.
