In preparation of my move to Japan, I have been clearing out my stash of wine. I was surprised to see this as I thought I had drank all three bottles of this that I bought some time ago. Given that it was a 1999 vintage and that I do not have the ideal storage I was not giving this much hope but it surprised me in that it was still very drinkable. The color was a medium yellow with flavors of peaches and apricot and a shot of lime and smelled of tart green apples. There was a nice balance between the acidity and sugar.
