Tasting notes
Attractive ripe stone fruit and dried mangoes with spiced citrus peel and botrytis character to it. Full-bodied and rich with an impressive balance between the sweetness and acidity. Delicate and silky with delicious fruit and a flavorful, spicy finish. Drink or hold.

Full bottle 1,380 g. Usually Sémillon-dominant but I don't have any info on this wine. Deep gold. Masses of almond paste (and that white glue of my youth that had such an almondy smell) as well as bitter orange. Very good balance between bitter orange freshness and barley-sugar sweetness. Rich, gently viscous, not heavy. Full-flavoured and still pretty youthful. Sweet-sour, almond-paste aftertaste. Broad, mouth-filling, just fresh enough for harmony and should continue to age well.
