UNP. Color light gold. Nose shows telltale sign of too much age. Butterscotch. Swishing shows over maturity w a minor in acid. I am surprised because I expected this would be just entering maturity not past it. Maybe an issue of the screw cap? Wishing I drank in its youth although totally palatable now. Drink up

PNP. Cork perfect. Color dark straw but still youthful in appearance. Nose mostly peaches and maybe a little botrytis. Swishing shows some acid but mostly RS. This has a very long, unctuous and delicious finish - good now, but could also hold, although I think that this will always balance on the sweet side.

PNP. Cork wet 1/3rd up. Color dark straw. Nose shows mostly apricot and some green herb that I can’t pin down. swishing shows acidity supporting the RS and perfect balance. Sipping shows the RS more but it is integrating and not overt. Finish is lengthy and most pleasant. Good to go or hold.
