I still can't believe how delightful this wine is for an "05, I continue to be amazed by the results of proper storage, I concur with the flavor profiles that Spautz wrote below.

(Had at a tasting -- no rating, but I would've given this an 88+.) Straw color. Fruity nose: pineapple, apple, banana. Almost seems a bit oily. Taste is well-balanced with good acidity. Lots of apple, and also some pear and almost Sauvignon Blanc-like overtones. Finish is a little sour, but good wine overall.
