Still holding up so depending on your preferences for developed wines, this could be a fine drink. However, for me, this is too old. Though still holding on to a bit of lemon/lime and a refreshing acidity, it has been taken over by notes of lanolin, honey, glue, beeswax and a bit of toasted hazelnuts. Not really my cuppa, glad almost half of it went into the chicken dish, but from a quality point of view, I still think it is very good (intense, rather complex, decent length, decent typicity, ageing potential), just past its peak to my taste.
