From half-bottle. Kind of dull, especially next to the #5 with its aromatics. This is sweet (getting towards cloyingly so) with brown tones, and that's pretty much it. Not even very much fruit here.

Excellent bottle. Beautiful deep gold, flowery tropical nose. Honey, peach, nectarine. Good viscosity, very ripe and rich with a lot of acidity to balance out the sugars. Plenty of botrytis. Medium finish. For the Hungarians out there, this worked surprisingly well with Rakott Krumpli - who knew?

Another dessert wine that I cellared too long. Alois Kracher, who died too young, was a genius at crafting dessert wines, and it is a pity that I didn't drink this wine sooner. It had lost its magic. It was brown in color, moderately sweet, and not unpleasant, but with no more than a generic fruity flavor. It had no nuance or depth, and a short finish.

Top Mid-Aged Bordeaux ("Chateau La Grange" - La Grange IL): Floral and dense but just slightly too simple and sweet. This was much better when last tasted a decade ago. Darker color than expected.
