Friday, January 16, 2015 - Afternoon Drinks: A delicious wine, this was very enjoyable. It had a lovely Vouvray nose, with warm, malty aromas of honey and marzipan, caramel and brown butter, with some lanolin and perfumed floral notes drifting alongside seashell and mineral tones. The palate carried on with the same honeyed character, showing slightly candied flavours of lemon peel and ripe apples drizzled with some caramel notes and a nice glow of nectar on the midpalate. There was a touch of minerally seashell and then little twists of citrus and spice at the finish – it was just a little short right at the end I thought. Otherwise, this was very nice. There was a nicely fresh, open feel about it that I liked, with just the right amount of off-dry sweetness balanced by fresh acidity that lent the wine a nice sense of poise. Drinking beautifully and quite delicious now, this was a very nice wine.
