A nutty, toasty sherry/champagne nose, with lemons and honeysuckle. Acidity's still great though some of the flavours are beginning to fade. Textured, rich, complex, and very drinkable.

Delicious! Lees predominating, apricot jam turned to peach after 1/2 hr open. Great mineral backbone, lemon notes, honeysuckle, a little toast. Very big white! Worth the self-control to wait all these years.

So well balanced with big mouth feel and finely tuned finish paired with Tommys roasted Cornish hens squash casserole and pea salad
