Wine just starting to seep up cork - approx 1/4"-3/8". No noticeable oxidation, however. Still tastes fresh. Sweeter than I remember but my last bottle was almost 3 years ago(!) and my palate has become a little more sensitive to residual sugar in the interim. Floral nose with apple and pear notes. Similar palate with green apple, pear and kiwi. I found the sweetness to be slightly cloying as the wine warmed in the glass, definitely prefer this cold. Enjoyable wine overall and I look forward to drinking my stash down this summer.

Still drinking very well a few days into the new year, the recommended window notwithstanding. Noticing a very pleasant nuttiness now. Very sorry that this was my last bottle. :-(

nose: pineapple, floral, white chocolate - like a savory sweetness, past the initial zip; golden delicious apple and honeysuckle. good balance - just as the zip hits, the sweetness carries it away. some bitterness (grassy/green leaf) on finish - long finish.
