Amazing, rarefied nose of butter, quince, and honeysuckle, threaded with a fine scent of cider apples. Lovely balance.
Unfortunately this note was based on what it tasted l like a month ago, as the bottle was now a casualty of the coravin system; opened a month ago, it had lost its vigour and begin to oxidise. The more I use the device, the more I am convinced that it is totally useless with older corks (20 years plus). Certainly the last time I'll ever use it on older vintages, unless I plan to finish the bottle within a week!
