  Pleasant but not as good as other vintages I've had.
  
  Not a lot of life left in it.

  Colour: Golden / silver with slight orange tint.
  Nose: Buttered toast, butterscotch, yellow peach, cashews?
  Palette: Quite rich, nectarine, peach, toast and lanolin, lemon/lime finish.
  Quite a long creamy finish.
  
  More buttery and toasty than previous tasting so it is gradually evolving.
  Seems a bit more acidic as well, which is strange.
  
  Make sure you don't drink it straight from the fridge, it needs to warm up a bit to show it's pedigree.

  Colour: Golden with slight orange tint.
  Nose: Low to medium intensity, I found it very hard to unravel. Some banana? Nectarine maybe?
  Palette: Quite rich, nectarine, white peach, toast and lanolin, lemon/lime finish.
  Quite a long creamy finish.
  Still a bit to young to really enjoy.
  Previous experience leads me to believe it'll be much better in 3-5 years.

  A bit old school with lots of butter and oak. Some citrus. A good 1980’s wine
