Tasting notes

Dark yellow colour. Nose shows wet wool, honey, some naphtalene. In the mouth this seems hollow and long way over the top. A slight hint of honey. Short and lacking in all aspects. Too old.

Yellow colour. Nice nose here. Shows more minerals, honey and some naphtalene. Again very mature in the mouth, but still life. More citrusy fruit. Hints of honey and a fine minerality. Fine acidity and good length. Some orange in the aftertaste. Good bottle.

Dark yellow colour. Nose not as clean as previous bottle. More rotten leafs, more prominent naphtalene, some honey and citrus. Medium bodied in the mouth. Again very mature fruit. Shows simpler with more citrusy notes and naphtalene. Medium acids and decent length. Drinkable, but not up to the previous bottle. Drink up.
