Quite a few years ago, there was some doubt about which label this wine would be sold under. However, the wines I ended up buying are the 'Cellar Aged' release, and I have had the odd one over the last few years.
Yellow gold in colour. Somewhat developed nose of lemon butter and lanolin, but not toasty or oily. The palate is still fresh and clean, with a little marzipan and lemon zest supported by acid.
This is in pretty good condition for 10 years, and is still has room to fill out oer the next couple of years.
Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.

Almost 3 years further on, this wine seems in a time warp. Similar golden colour, with no signs of browning. Lanolin and honeysuckle are still dominant on the nose, with lemon butter and cleansing acid on the palate. A complex wine without being over the top in palate weight, and still years away from declining.
Enjoy!
