Showing oxidative character, not unexpected for the age, this wine is rich gold with green to silver hues. Toasted bread, dried fruits and nuts, baked apple, oily citrus zest, and roasted pineapple. Medium plus finish, with a hint of bitterness.

Delicious. Drink now - starting to oxidize so open it up. Honey, straw, herbs. Intense, golden (Sauternes-like in color), stunning performance late in life.

Enjoyable but not the vibrant wine of it's youth. Straw, vanilla oak, green apple, citrus oil. Creamy and smooth in the mouth, with a distinct minerality. Medium finish. A fun retrospective on the Wine Spectator #5 wine of the year from 1997. 89-91
