  Third bottle of this in 2 months (3 total given to me). First was a flaw, but the last two were amazingly holding together nicely. Not quite as zesty and alive as it once was, but sure had the grapefruit, dried pineapple, high acid thing going on. Was very pleasant to sip.

  Past prime on this bottle. Showed a lanolin quality and a unique chalky, minerally finish with a slight saline quality, almost like a fino sherry. The oxidation wasn't that bad, in fact it added a bit of complexity, but the acidity was gone and freshness of fruit obviously not there.

  Man, Leeuwin produces some quality stuff. Bought this on close out just to see how it is. Well, it's pretty good. The fruit has mellowed prominantly, but it still drinks very pleasantly. Lime flavored, medium bodied with a soft but pleasant acidity. I would have guessed '04 at the oldest. Extremely impressive considering this is their drink now label. 87+
