  South Africa WIMPS #175 27th March 2024 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Half. Very rich and concentrated nose. Some toffee and embers. Some confit lemon top notes. Very focused and complex. With air some candied kumquat. Mouth puckering acidity. Love it.

  Six years on since I last drunk this it's still a hugely impressive wine. Relatively dark amber in the glass the nose is of hugely concentrated barley sugar. Incredible sweetness on the palate (350g/l RS) but there is good acidity here, though maybe a little less obvious than previously. Maybe the balance is just tipping towards the sugar now. Incredibly long and intense. *****

  Caramel & raisins all day however the medium acidity is just not enough for the bold sugars.

  Deep raisin nose, well balanced acid so very high sugar content is not cloying.
