Tasted for our 20th wedding anniversary on the wine’s 20th birthday over a 3 hour period - starts out nutty with little hint of fruit and a touch of must that eventually blows off evolving into citrus and honey flavor notes and beeswax bouquet. Quite viscous. Finish is dry.

Cork in great condition. Brilliant mid gold colour - perhaps a little darker than expected? Nose is tropical fruit with a little oxidative Elastoplast. Palate is a little faded in truth - some acidity but tending to more tertiary characteristics. Great finish but overall I feel this bottle has suffered premature oxidation. Still very nice but I was expecting more.

앞으로 최소 5년은 더 좋아질것 같다. 시작부터 화려한 과실향과 꽃향을 뿜어내더니 한잔 한잔 마실수록 더욱 우아한 감동을 준다.

Boo. Bought recently from K&L and clearly flawed - somewhere between premoxed and cooked. Grr.
