This has been in the cellar for about 3 years. . Some welcoming, broad richness on the nose here, with apricot kernel, sweet candied fruits, seville orange, icing sugar and vanilla. The mouse and mouthfeel don’t carry much effervescence - to be expected perhaps. Whether it’s just this bottle or the wine in general I’m not sure, but it seems to be fading a little, lacking the cut and thrust that I associate with Lanson (and indeed the 1998, which I tasted a couple of years back and really enjoyed). There’s a bitter citrus edge to the finish, which is touch hollow and suggestive of a touch of oxidation in this bottle perhaps? Still enjoyable though.
