Offline in Dobbs Ferry (Dale's House): From the Boillot negociant business. This came out with a relatively light gold color. Nose showed some baked apple fruit and a candied nut character. Palate was dry, but still had that candied note, along with some more apple, all wrapped in too much fat and not enough acid. Finish was short. For other people, excess oak or overextraction is the capital crime. I can be sensitive to both, but lack of acid is my real bête noire.

Past its prime. Lost its acidity, lots of malolactic flab without being over-oaked. Still quite drinkable, but a shadow of its former self.
