Super dark gold color - looks much more mature than I would have expected. Intense botrytis nose, also surprising as I thought this wasn't a great vintage for noble rot. Anyway, the fruit is a bit muddied on the palate - it has classic honeyed yellow fruits, but lacks focus. Good acidity keeps it from coming across as flabby. Drink now.
