Reviews
Already with a wonderful old-gold color, this aromatic wine with its fruit, acidity and touch of spirit is bone dry, but presents a rich texture. The typical intense acidity is right there as well as lemon peel, wood, spice and concentration.
Taut, with refreshing cut, offering date, ginger, green tea and walnut flavors that move along with alacrity and precision. The focused finish has a light whiff of singed sandalwood.
As if resisting the imperatives of age, this wine has a bright, sunny feel to its tangy scents of orange and salt air. It’s warm and round, saturated with flavors of fresh chestnuts and tart pineapple, lasting in a contrast of briskness and pleasant sweetness. A compelling match for aged sheep’s milk cheeses.
Offering up an inviting bouquet of sultanas, mocha, walnuts and candied peel. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with good depth at the core, tangy acids and a long, nicely integrated finish. This comes warmly recommended.
