  10 years from last bottle. still fantastic, really reminiscent of lightly mature white burg, but with more honey, herbal notes and viscosity. Great bottle. Shame its my last and I hope at some point they make this cuvee again.

  Garagiste selection. 13% ABV
  
  Color: dark yellow with viscous legs
  Nose: medium intensity. Complex warm aromas of stone fruit and berries; some minerality. Opens in the glass...
  Body/flavor: medium body. Complex fresh and dried stone fruits... hard for me to identify certain flavors, maybe because lack of familiarity with Friulano and Tocai. But what a treat!
  Aftertaste: lingering dry to sweet flavors
  
  My last bottle of a white wine aged for 140 months before bottling. And then rested for 22 years in my basement (45 - 58 F). Quite the experience.

  Paolo visits Princeton... (Cellars at Chez Walker): Thought to check in on this, its been a few years. A "wine geeks" selection, rare and interesting but not for every palate.
  
  Consistent with notes from 17:"Medium gold color. Nose showing citrus/lemon, some petrol and ....Palate of aged apricot, citrus, marzipan, nuts/almonds on back palate."
  
  A decant makes a difference with this. Wine was open for about 2 hours before drinking. The mid/back palate nuts/marzipan notes are the highlight here.
  
  This has gone a long way for the origin and varietal. Would drink up at this point

  This bottle was a spoiled hot mess.

  really didn't like this the first time, years ago. on revisiting, i find the flor/sherry elements lovely, and the wine is lovely and lighter (i found it unbearably heavy and oily last time). i do not get much petrol as others have, but happy to say that this was enjoyed with some shrimp tapas cooked with sherry and butter
