Two unusual at least for me things about this wine. While I don't expect Moelleux to be particularly sweet this wine had little sweetness. At some level a trade-off for intensity. The other thing is that from the time I opened and tasted it to the time it was served, 20 minutes, it darken considerably in colour.

Wax, honey, and ginger with peach and apricot on the nose. The palate shows the same with a tiny hint of nuttiness in the background, in a nicely reserved fashion. This is on the downslope, but still a pleasant drink. Nice to know a relatively inexpensive bottle can age so long.

Darker golden brown color. Very fresh on the nose and in the mouth. Honeyed fruits, more sweet with just an underlying suggestion of savoriness. Coats the mouth, nice finish. Will last but drinking very well now.

Heavy tropical mango fruit. Smells okay, tastes good but a bit dull aside from a little dough and wooly complexity. I liked this more than most.
