  Pronounced barley sugar orange-gold. Nose is barley sugar, raw demerara, rich honeysuckle, shoe leather...but all still quite lifted. Palate is good initial acidity, nicely burnt caramel and barley sugar but not all that sweet, some peach stone tannin dryness. Some hints of resonance but it seems a bit of a distant and fading trumpet note. Still fun but well past its prime and it faded badly after 45 minutes in the glass. Certainly, it didn't have the resonance or power of the 2010 vintage I drank three years ago.

  Showing more oxidation than the previous bottle and after a while in the decanter a faint cork taint aroma began to develop - still enjoyable but not nearly as fresh.

  Showing age in its evolved character but certainly not oxidised in any way. Nose a little muted with some mineral hints and orange flower; palate has lovely weight and richness without being cloying. Evolved butter, oatmeal, spice - marmalade, honeyed notes. Very complex and certainly an unexpected pleasure. The level was very good on this so perhaps a perfect bottle stored in the best possible way? Delightful.
