Maybe not the most impressive vintage for this often stunning bottling, I found it to be a bit ordinary and lacking the electricity of the best Gunderlochs, but nonetheless still quite good. Firmly in its secondary development stage, the sweetness is moderate here. Petrol, peach and pear flavors dominate the palate and the wine is quite easy to sip. I'd drink sooner rather than later.

Colour not as aged as previous few bottles. A rich yellow color with some petrol, honeysuckle and melon on the nose. Palate is unctuous with a slightly woody undertone. Finish lingers rather than stays but a nice sweetness at the end.

Deep yellow/amber colour. Honeysuckle nose
with hints of melon. Palate is full and plump. A little acidity which comes through on the decent finish.

Honeysuckle nose, lush apricot palate. A hint of acidity and a decent finish.
