  From magnum. Nose of dried apricot, lychee, chamomile tea and a hint of new rubber. The taste has a path of added golden apple and citrus (red grapefruit and pomelo). Enjoyable pour that paired very well.

  Could not have picked a better time to open this bottle. It was perfectly on form last night, with lots of stony, sweet and savory elements complementing still very present fruit. Dry but not severe, it was good to drink on its own and with food. Acidity was balanced with the palate depth and the finish was long, and quite broad, despite a mouthwatering sensation from the structure. No real worry about this heading downhill any time soon, but it's a great wine to drink right now.

  Really good and more exciting than a bottle a year ago. Brass. Off-dry. Impeccable balance. Yellow fruits and a whiff of honey. Good match for butter-roasted cod and for a chicken sausage stir fry.

  My first in a number of years, and it is fully mature, off-dry and seamless. Lacks excitement but a pleasure to drink nonetheless.

  Very nice. Didn't thrill me as much as I'd hoped, but it had great acidity, nice dark color, and it was starting to show its age.
