  On a whim I picked up a bottle of this just to see if it had survived 12 years. And while it's definitely drinkable, the palate is dominated by oxidative notes and there's no complexity or subtlety about it any more. On the basis of a single sample, I call this way over the hill.

  This is in a very nice place now. Semillon is dominant with peachy notes, slightly viscous texture and lime aromas. No noticeable oak or cat pee in this one. Smooth.

  a fresh bordeaux with well integrated acidity. Lacks some fruit, more floral notes and minerality. Put on some weight since last time I tasted this. Serve it a bit on the colder side in the summer sun and you'll have a winner.

  Tropical fruits, citrus and minerality. Crisp, clean and bone dry mouthfeel. The fruit is good, but what really sticks out is the lemon driven acidity and the minerality which shows from start to end. Oak is there, but only bringing complexity and weight, not bothering at all.
