  From mag. Gorgeous nose with notes of lanolin. So refreshing and just lovely!

  Gareth's Magnum Dinner, part 1 (Noize): Magnum. Delighted to sniff this and immediately conclude it was in excellent condition. Seemed in a great spot, with plenty of evidence of the tropical, grassy, blackcurrant leaf notes of its youth, plus the waxy lanolin sensations that come with age. Loved the mouthfeel, the bitterness and the long finish.

  A 25 year old wine that has held up well. Still Sauvignon Blanc dominant on the nose and front palate (tropical fruits), the wine had a wonder mouthfeel texture. Honey and other tertiary characteristics from the semillon were present. Oak was no longer a factor as it had integrated and it was a complete wine. Finish was fading a bit more quickly than I had hoped but possible did not have the weight that I had experienced in the past. Drink now.

  Outstanding as in previous notes.
  Sauvignon blanc profile and tertiary notes (honey, hazelnut). Persistent and long.
