Wow very much alive and delicious. I love that the alcohol is 11.5 - much lower than current vintages.

Even better than the last bottle, honeyed fruit with a mineral core and good acidity, quite complex, sensational.

Nose is just beautiful, almost like a more oxidative old riesling. Golden color and good backbone but can tell it's not getting better.

Fantastic. Still some fruit hiding in there amongst some complex tertiary aromas. Time to drink.
