  Opened this wine with friends in October 2017. Rich golden color, and amazing nose of fruit with caramel notes from age. We were all struck by how beautiful it was drinking. Began to fade after an hour or so, but what a bottle it was!

  Found this in the back of the cellar. Dark golden color was obvious even before opening, so no good expectations. But this was ripe and tasty and nicely evolved, very enjoyable for 45-60 minutes before heading south.

  Unfortunately, my last bottle was not great. The wine was dead. Do not wait if you have some left.

  Je m'attendais à beaucoup de ce vin depuis toutes ces années à l'attendre et je n'ai pas été déçu. Quel beau vin puissant mais équilibré avec une note d'oxydation rappelant le Xerez. Boisé mais pas à l'excès et long en bouche avec une finale sur le miel.
