We've had the 1994 Robert Mondavi Botrytis before with our Good Friends paired with a dessert. I opened a bottle of it the other night just for fun. Beautiful Wife and I sipped it from our Champagne flutes and it was wonderful.
The color is amazing and what I think should be expected from ambrosia, nectar of the gods indeed. The color isn't any surprise since it comes in a clear bottle but the clear crystal definitely enhanced it.
I served it well chilled and was struck immediately by the honeyed taste of the wine. I swirled, sipped and let it warm up to release the boquet and tastes that are part of the botrytis lure. I didn't finish the bottle and will have some more tonight so that I can be more specific in terms of the tastes I noted.
