A rich slightly bronzey gold. Very, very restrained nose: light honeyed elegance. Hugely elegant on palate – very light and fresh tasting with oodles of acidity with a neat sweetness. Good length. Enormous elegance. I really wouldn’t put this at this sort of age and if it were served blind, I’d have put it a lot younger and declared it to be infanticide. Worked very well with the foie gras.

Served with a terrine of foie gras with fig jam and celeriac remoulade. The terrine was well made, nicely seasoned allowing the richness of the liver to show through, and presented as three thin slices off a small (say 4cm) torchon. The slices of terrine were served on a rectangular smear of fig jam; the celeriac remoulade was otiose.
