I sat aside Conundrums from four vintages and this was the year that strategy paid off. Like a medium bodied honeyed aged Sauterne, but with more acidity. (The other vintages were bland or slightly oxidized).

Medium to deep golden yellow. Thick nose with honeycomb and a touch of stone fruits. Low acidity (4.5/10) with a medium body. Rich a touch sweet on the palate with notes of citrus and tropical fruits. A bit sour and tart in the medium length finish. Very drinkable and doing insanely well for being 15 years old. Drink now.

Surprisingly still drinkable... Very Muscat-y/orange blossom nose, some citrus and tropical fruits... Lots of almond, marzipan smells. This bottle in much better shape than the last.

Ended up with a few bottles as part of a mixed lot purchased at auction...
Clearly past its prime and on opening wasn't sure that it was really drinkable, but after being open for a few hours, it actually still holds up.
