The Wine
Golden with intense gold tones. Subtle on the nose at first, after 12 years ageing it takes a moment or two to open up. Yellow fruit which ranges from cool tones to mature notes. Candied fruit, plums, apples and pears. Perfumed tones (patchouli, incense), balsamic notes (eucalyptus, rosemary, bay leaf, fennel). The bakery type notes turn into finely roasted aromas (nuts, toffee, cocoa). Some earthy, saline aromas with a trace of iodine in the background. Fresh on entry to the palate, surprisingly fine carbon dioxide, creamy but with a constant lively acidity. A metallic note adds to the fresh finish with nice, sustained acidity.
