Burnished amber reveals the wine's quarter-century evolution. Waxy honeyed richness dominates the aromatics, while dried citrus rind and herbal complexity unfold on the palate. The faintest breath of controlled oxidation adds depth rather than distraction. Despite bottle variation concerns with this cuvée, this example delivers.
