Surprisingly mid-deep gold in colour - more developed that I would have expected for this 6 year old wine. Nose not revealing much fruit and it gives off a muskiness that is backed up some minerals. Palate adds some lemon-butter complexity (not butterscotch). Length is decent. A solid, but not outstanding wine.

Wine is surprisingly ready to drink.Aromas of sones and lemon custard. Very focused fruit in the mouth with excellent structure and acidity. The intensity and length of this wine was almost painful, almost unpleasant in the beginning. Great with food as the wine easily stood up to a spicy red sauce.

Similar to the last bottle but a touch more richer and more complex.
