Overall: A wine unlike any other I've had. So decadent & smooth with a complexity that could keep your mind occupied for hours. Truly an experience. When we first opened it, it was like a butterscotch candy but after hours of air, it became more complex and like a ripe pineapple. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy again, nor would I say it's a wine I can sit around and drink a lot of but it's quite an incredible experience to try and that it was my points will be based on.

Last of 6, opened 45 minutes, perfect cork and level, old, but still remarkably fresh and still with nice balance and some drive to the fruit. F+ (18).

Look: Deep gold; no legs
Nose: burnt caramel, pie crust, pineapple upside down cake, flint, apricot, slight butterscotch candy (more prominent right after opening)
Palette: ripe pineapple, vanilla, white flower, honeysuckle, buttery & silky mouthfeel, decadent
