Mature aromatics of toffee, almost peanut brittle. Still slightly youthful palate, very slightly shrill which is incongruous with the nose. I enjoyed this, but for a peak/mature Efflorescence I preferred a recent bottle of the 2010.

Really lovely wine. I appreciated more after thirty minutes open and at 56 degrees than chilled. When chilled this wine showed higher CO2, more apple and bright white fruit. With some warmth one gets a little yeast, CaCO3 and mustiness that builds from the early palate but is well connected to the nose. Truly an enjoyable non-dosage wine.

I wasn’t feeling this one quite so much. Had a petrol flavor to me that didn’t work.
