Stunning wine. Less glycerol body than previously when young. Fruit and acidity in perfect balance. Stone fruits. Perfect despite slightly protruding cork with mold. 34 yeas old! Lots of life ahead but my last bottle alas.
Light golden. Ethereal honeyed quince aromas. Sweet, pure fruit and spice in perfect balance with the terrific acidity which has carried it forward for 34 years. Just a great dessert wine and a perfect finish to an evening of monumental wines. Still miles to go for any remaining bottles.

From a small capped bottle (wine divided for zoom tasting). Nose of marmalade and a little wool. Just a bit. Spicy with a bit of molasses. Some thickness a bit of butter, the palate has citrus and apricot, very spicy and wild. Intense. Great grip with high acid and delicious. Nose - 5-5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17.5-18/20.

Temperature is key for enjoying this, the balance is there but only at colder temp. Golden apple yellow peach apricot and dried pear. So great with wagyu beef, tempura, anything fatty

Casual wine dinner at De Golden Spoon Seafood: Orange with a tinge of bronze in colour. Exactly what I look for in a sweet - tropical fruit of peaches and apricot, orange peel, but with structure and acidity. Great balance despite the unctuous texture, has the stuffing to go on forever.
