  Full yellow. Off dry, medium intensity wine lacking the depth and drive of better vintages. Not over the hill, just not all that good.

  Golden straw, really mature. Sweet apricot and red apples dominate the nose, with only modest hints of petroleum. Inviting, but a bit heavy. Full bodied, much fresher in the mouth than on the nose. Lots of red apples, fresh apricot, some lime and grapefruit, and a firm, fresh finish that really lifts the whole impression. Lots of extract gives an almost drying feeling in the finish. The aftertaste is fresh and sweet, in perfect balance. What initially seemed to be an old wine really shines and shows that it will have no problems with another five years in the cellar. This is just so pleasing, although I would not call it a great wine. Perfect with sashimi of Norwegian salmon.

  Medium yellow. Stone fruit and guava aromas. Medium body, glossy feel. Just off dry and in fact somewhat tropical, peach fruit, its underlying shape imparted by stone rather than acidity. Excellent and not quite fully mature. No secondary perfume yet, but I don't think this will go in the petrol direction.

  Writing this much later. Memories of a rich yet refined Riesling. More flowers and herbs than fruit. Want more!.....but I might prefer the Theo.

  Pale gold color. Nose of citrus, stone, grass, melon. Layers of grapefruit, white pear, lychee, and winter melon on the palate hovering over craggy stony structure with hints of petrol. Racy acidity. Longer finish of white fruit and fine gravel. Nice.
