Mid gold, proper maturity with no sign of ox. Lovely nose, buttery, hazelnutty and just a touch of oatmeal. Fresh on the attack, and then it hits — not oxidised, or corked, but slightly spritz, petillant. Grrr! Still, could be worse but it takes the edge off what would have been a **** wine otherwise. ***

1/12 Full gold. Not oxidised but pretty advanced. Buttery, nutty, but lacking line and depth. Pleasant enough for a couple of glasses. **1/2
