Great showing for this wine at age 14 (and not the best vintage). Deeper golden in color, clear and bright. The nose shows slight oxidation along with lemon creme, slight vanilla and minerality. Full bodied. Nicely balanced. On the palate, this is layered and complex. Still plenty of fruit but also some tertiary notes of dried fruits, earthiness and nuts. Long finish. This is mature and seemingly at peak or slightly past. It begs for food and would go nicely with Fruit Salad but also scallops. Drink up.
