Community Tasting Note

SAND Likes this wine:

Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - (Purchased in France in 1992)
NOSE: Ripe yellow pear, apricot, honey, sweet orange, fresh orange zest, candied orange zest, sweet almond. With time hints of petroleum, like a well aged Riesling. (89p)
TASTE: Medium sweet with nice acidity to balance. Orangey and citrusy base with tropical yellow fruits on top.
Medium bodied, slightly oily mouthfeel. Long citrusy aftertaste. (89-90p)
OVERALL: Very much alive and well after almost 44 years in bottle. Surprisingly orange-citrusy. Needs air and time to open up on the nose.
TOTAL SCORE: 89 + 1 for age and uniqueness = 90 points.
