13.5% alcohol. Superb cork. The colour is rich gold, but not deep enough to cause alarm. There are floral notes on the nose, both fresh and dried, as well as some honey. The mouth is less successful in that oxidative notes are beginning to show up, but without obliterating the classy feel of the wine; ripe yellow plum. Still pretty pleasurable but on its way out, which is not that surprising at age thirteen. With thanks to the generous donor, who also provided superb plaice and spectacular crab claws (well over 200g each!); life is good when you have friends like that...

Good structure, slightly more than medium-bodied, nice citrus with vanilla cream and all around a most pleasant wine. Outstanding QPR. WOTN.

Reduction aroma and taste covering fruit. Overly oaked for my liking. Disappointing bottle.
