"Not the usual golden colour but with a mild, gentle honeyed nose and fairly rich on the palate in 1975 . . . . Nice acidity in the mid- to late 1980s. More recently, having gained more colour, still sweet with a lovely flavour. Last noted at a Christie's wine department Christmas dinner, Dec 1995.
