Interesting. So much going on, perhaps too much. Extremely oxygen starved this wine needed 1 hour to open. At first heavy with pungent cheese, rancio and mold aromas, with the cheese aspect carrying over to the palette. After there is a pleasant blend of honey, almonds, burnt caramel and lime acidity. Lovely smooth texture. Still alive, but just barely.
