  Still in good shape, no signs of oxydation. Just a bit tired or let´s say tender, which is no surprise after 15 years.
  Slight recovery after 2 days in the fridge.
  Must have been great in its prime.

  Pale yellow colour. Cool, reticent nose of wet rocks, granny smith, kiwifruit, fat hint of cassis, old-fashioned hard candy. In the mouth this is sleek, tight, mineral driven and, sorry to say, rather short, some might even say thin. Had to check the vintage twice. Really thought that this was a 2004, but it no... Where's the tell-tale creaminess and the fruit? Couldn't find real complexity or depth at the moment. A pretty wine, showing no apparent flaws, but no excitement either. Quite a disappointement, to be honest. Closed? Off-bottle? 16/20
