This is finally the notes from the end of Xmas dinner. I had it on the draft and finally today I took the pic of the bottle. The wine was stunning. It was very interesting to check how can sweet botrytis cinerea style of wine develop over 15 years and definitely it was worth the time left in the cellar.
