I had lost this bottle in my cellar three years ago and thankfully found it a week ago. I was not sure how it would be. The last one was oxidized and that was two years ago. At opening I noticed a touch of unbalanced acidity and a dark yellow color...both somewhat ominous signs. The color was lighter as a got further into the bottle and the acidity was still crisp. There was an occasional hint of sulfur during the course of the evening. Overall a good bottle that was enjoyable.

Slightly reductive upon opening but breathes up nicely. Light golden color but not a hint of oxidation. With a little time, the nose offers white flowers and lemon peel. In the mouth this fills every crevice with rocks, acid, and barely ripe yellow fruit. The finish is long and this wine is fantastic.

Lot of life left. Had lost this bottle and then found. No Premox. Amber color, but good ... lots of sulfur which likely preserved the bottle.

A little too much oak for me. Nice exotic fruit beneath, but needs a lot of time.
