Tough nose to start almost thought it was lost but wow the taste was great. A bit more dilute than prior memory but nice balanced of caramel, dates, slight orange zest.

Lots of Italians and a couple others (Cleveland): This was served a bit too cold, but once it warmed up at the table, it was great. Golden in color. The nose is very interesting with honey, maple/butterscotch, dates and slight orange notes. On the palate, this is sweet but not cloying. In fact, i was expecting more sweetness, but it has probably lost a bit at 16 years from vintage. Not this this showed old as it definitely is fresh and vibrant. Good acidity. Food friendly. Very pretty wine.
