Wine tasting lunch @ a friends house in Paphos
This 1985 was scrumptious what a wine, respect, everyone was impressed, by this astonishing vino. Amazing with elegance, finesse, personality, amazing balance & a very sexy acidity. First time I've ever tasted this wine. While tasting it I could see Principessa Coralia in front of me. Total her wine.

Bright lemon and apple in the nose, with a touch of minerality. Palate mimics the nose a bit, but on the softer side. Tastes of apple pie and lemon filling. Light in the mouth yet medium bodied. Good acid, hint of oak. Crisp-ish and quaffable. Like it quite a bit. A wine worthy of respect, not just respectable. — 11 years ago
Old, but definitely not dead. An elegant Madiran, respect! — 11 years ago
Almost like unfortified Madeira. Can't believe it's lasted this long. "Grandfather" not at his best moment but still show some respect ;-) — 11 years ago
One of the skills I'm coming to respect as a hallmark of really great producers is the ability to convey place and vintage well in their entry level bottlings. Von Winning has that hallmark. — 11 years ago
