DC (3/7/04) - deep yellow. Nose: delightfully intense and open and toasty, with hints of citrus and caramel, like the 1990 vintage that bowled me over at an earlier tasting. On the palate: honeyed toasted crumpets, caramel and butter, but still well matched by lemony, citrusy acid. Reasonably long length. Definitely a better bottle than the one previously tasted a good win on the bottle-variation roulette wheel!

Tasted 20/5/03: Colour - straw/yellow. Nose - lovely and open immediately, presenting bouquet of buttered, honeyed toast, albeit not as intense as the 1990 (tasted 10 days earlier). On the palate, an abundance of lemons, layered throughout by honey and buttered toast. Smooth long finish and drinking beautifully now, but has plenty of acid to give it a long life. Great with fish and chips (and would be perfect with grilled fillet of Blue Grenadier).
