ColinR is right on the money. Just a few things to add: This is still remarkably lively. And the tartness made it a perfect match for a savory apple and aged cheddar tart.

Yellow gold; peaches, petrol, lemons, minerals; dry, lemony, oily, light body, decent structure, tart acidity, lingering finish. Dry with petrol and lemony acidity. Still good but on the decline. Enjoyed with grilled lake trout.

Whoa! 22 years old and this wine still has a beautiful golden yellow color. However, if you ever are wondering what petrol smells or tastes like, this is an intense example. There is literally so much petrol on the tongue I can’t get anything else.

Deep yellow amber colour. Earth, carbolic soap and lemon candies on the nose, Fairly dry on the palate; light-medium bodied, acidic finish.
