Deep gold color. Notes of apricot, creme brulee, lemon and marzipan, and a little butterscotch. In the decanter this looks golden, but in the glass it looks much younger. My last experience with this wine ended in a TN that said to drink within 2 hours of opening. Today, that was true. Until it wasn't. In hours 4-6, this exploded with excitement and changed dramatically. The old butterscotch and apricot notes disappeared; the acidity powered up; and the lemon and marzipan notes along with wet river stone and tan spice were amplified. Just when you think it was done, it pulled you back in...!

Showing its age -- a bit oxidized. But with some air the fruit emerged, and this just kept getting better as the night went on. A winner!

Not as elegant and ripe as I tend to think of for a Monty, still I would rather bathe in this than in Kistler...
