  Wasn't optimistic seeing the last note was 9 years ago but damn, this wine still has it together. Interesting nose, enchanting color, balanced flavors on palate - just a touch short on the finish. ........... After an hour this wine is superb - cascade of flavors on the palate, rich finish, balance still there. Give this wine some air and enjoy the show.

  Rich ripe fruits such as peach and a little apricot makes it feel off-dry, good balancing acidity, and a toch of bitterness at the end that enhances matching with food.

  Some yellow fruit. a little petrol. Offdry. Pretty complex, but less attractive than when it was openly fruity. Will be interested in what the next stage brings.

  petrol/minerals and some mellowed yellow fruit on the nose. rich textured but the aciidty was shrill and way out of whack. don't know if this is past its prime or in a funky phase, but it is not a pleasant experience right now.
