  In a good place of development. Totally fresh but with a nuanced bit of development and touch more weight. [No notes / from memory a week ago]

  Giving layers, depth and long length. Despite its twenty years, it is still fresh as a daisy.

  A small gathering at Bryan's (Bryan's place): Golden color, significantly darker than the 10 Blanchot. Medium expressive nose displaying very ripe sweet yellow fruit, peach, baked apple, caramel, a hint of mint, honey, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, packed very ripe yellow fruit, dense, rich and deeply toned, medium acidity and mineral, and a medium long very ripe yellow fruit driven finish with caramel and sweet spices at the end. I suspect this may be a bit further advanced than a properly cellared bottle. Very rich and a bit cloying and tired.

  My second bottle and I can't really add to my note from last year. This is just sheer perfection.

  Our last bottle of this had been in 2016 and this bottle had been submerged in the notorious 2011 Flood leaving its traces in a blackened cork with mud caked under the capsule. Despite all of this the wine opened beautifully with a colour of crystalline straw and a nose of green apples, lemon, lime and pineapple.There are touches of hay, honey and boiled sweets. The palate was multi-dimensional and pure with clear acid cut and great mineral finish. There was plenty of depth and cut yet with the touches of honey and pine/lime splice there was a finesse and balance that was quite striking.
  A couple of summer days in the cool muddy waters of the Brisbane River has done no harm to this bottle !
