Brilliant again - two years after my last bottle it seems to me as the sweetness has taken a step back and the wine is becoming more secondary. Beautifully put together. Wish I had more

I thought this was brilliant but still on the younger side. Cotton candy and white florals on the nose. The palate starts off flamboyant and sweet with gobs of sweet white cherries and pineapple. Bitter almond note on the finish balances it out nicely going into a long finish. Even 18 years into it, this drinks more like a dessert wine, but the freshness to keep aging is certainly there. Very long life ahead. 92-94

Las Vegas Locals Dinner at Lotus of Siam (Lotus of Siam - Las vegas, NV): Beautiful dark yellow color with tones of fresh linen, lychee, petrol and peach on the nose. The palate had a beautiful elegance with white florals, white peach and lychee. Nice weight to the palate I think this has a number of more years before it starts any type of decline.

Seemd more full bodied than I recall, lots of honey, something slightly tropical, firm acidity, nice.

Slightly musty, dusty maybe, but not corked, bright defined fruit, medium sweetness, nice with a tart rhubarb and ginger crumble.
