Surprised by how much I like this. Waxy, honeyed, full and raisiny, but still fresh. I feel like often the whole 'ancient winemaking' thing can be a cover for lazy or bad winemaking, but this shows a skilled touch.

'06 - not as fresh as the last bottle, yielded to orange wine characteristics. Bruised stone fruit but maintained bright acidity. Terrific, though a different expression.
