Sunday, April 9, 2023 - A 45mm natural cork enclosure. No ABV on the label… because that requirement post-dates this vintage. I learned something new. Orange in colour. Nose was med(+) intensity but yielded sandlewood, honey, cinnamon, orange, bitter marmalade, Jasmine, banana, crystalised fruits and probably much more had I not had to share it. Full body. Pronounced intensity. High acidity. A finish that lasted over a minute. Balanced - of course, not super sweet they said. Everything is balanced I said. A real gem at a gemstone price.
