Disappointed in the oxidation on this - not sure if it is the style or condition of the bottle

Oily and golden. Edges of oxidation over a honeyed core with hints of spearmint. Surprisingly advanced but intense with a sweet, oily sherried element. Rounded with a long seamless middle. Drink now.

Nez légèrement évolué sur lamande amère. Arôme inattendu de violette. Beaucoup de matière en bouche. Agrumes. Belle longueur et encore beaucoup de panache

Needs a good bit of air to show coconut and vanilla.

Nose of mineral and fruitiness. Lemon and lychee. On palate, very flat, nothing going on. Weird. Nose makes me think I am going to be very happy but I am not. Let's see if second bottle is better. Most thought it was as strange. Not my thing.

2007 Lemon, lemon peel on the nose. Good acid, well balanced, but still bight flavours. Even handed between the Semillon and Sauv Blanc. Classic.

For dessert... Paired with fig compote on macadamia nut crust with lemon-infused whipped creme. Nice balance.
