Thursday, July 23, 2015 - opened not decanted 60 min
Med gold color: complex nose of white cardamom and a little cinnamon and curry spices.
The rich heavy body confuses with sweetness, but the wine is really dry to semi dry and at 22 yrs shows more fruit character than sugar. The acidity was the perfect counter point for a roasted pork chop with Gruyere cheese sauce. Perfect wine for the dish and another example of wines that are rich but not dessert like cloying.
Bench mark wine for the difference between "sweet" and "concentrated but dry"
