Thursday, August 29, 2013 - Rich and intense nose with apple jam to apricots. Saffron, caramelized citrus, ginger, cream toffee, lilacs, chestnuts, pine seeds, smoke and whatnot.
Dry, rich and intense with lively moussé, vibrant ripe fruit and fine acidic bite cutting through the richness. Bitter lemon, quinine, smoke, spices and almonds. Zesty and warming at the same time. Long.
A real treat and drinking very nicely. Listing all these trivial aromas seemed obligatory with this wine. Yummy.
