Deep golden color, similar to an aged Burgundy. But the nose is pure Rhone. Honey, beeswax, spices, smoke, pineapple. The texture is oily despite a lively acid and the flavors are deep and profound. This is really really excellent.

The group certainly didn't think this wine was past its prime and was a real different treat. Just funky stuff, but in a good way.

Past prime: waxy, lacking fruit, insufficient acidity.

Unfortunately this wine is fading and is just a shadow of what is was. Still enjoyable but nothing special
