DR makes such great aged Tawnies and Whites. This White is just another example. It's a nice sipping White that's smooth with a very long aftertaste. Everything is completely integrated. The acidity and sweetness (it leans more to the drier side for me) are perfectly matched and I can't think of a better 20 year-old white out there except maybe the S. Leonardo? 93 points
