Seems to be on the downslope now, but still very good. Tertiary flavours dominate here; it's very burnished with smoky and honeyed notes framing baked peach, orange peel, and citrus flavours, though there's still enough acidity on the palate to keep it fresh and lively.

On the nose, petrol dominates but with some pear, apricot, and maybe a hint of lemon in the background. On the palate, medium-bodied with apricot and pears dominating the flavors, and background citrus and nuttiness. Layered, medium length finish.
A little bit chunky and tired, the storage on this bottle may not have been the best over the years. Still, very interesting to try, I wish I had a pristine bottle to compare.

Sunday hangout (socially distanced) (Chicago, IL): #06-77. The nose shows some really nice aged riesling notes, but unfortunately, the palate is mostly empty at this point.

Very fresh and tasty. still notes of pears and apricots. I do think I needs to be enjoyed now and no need to hold on for much longer. Beautiful color.

Wonderfully fresh and full-bodied herbal wine with notes of dried mango, orange marmalade, honeycomb, lilac, minerality, and a jasmine tea finish.
