A delicious hedonistic experience that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Opened and drank over three nights. It was rather closed the first evening but really showed its stuff the third. I think it still needs a year or two in the cellar to downplay the sulfur. Very fruity with notes of apricots, white flowers and Muscat-typical notes of elderflowers and fresh white grapes. A touch on the rich and sweet side in counterpoint to the acidity. A delightful sticky that would work well with fruit-based desserts (or just a white wine glass!). 375ml bottle.

as elegant as it's flamboyant. a lot lighter in style than No.2, and I actually remembered the acidity in 2014 No.2 as being more prominent. finish could be longer. 88-89

A good way to finish a tapas meal. Clean and correct, but simple rather than complex. Perhaps lacking acid lift. A tasty dram, but uninspiring.

PnP. Had a glass.
Light and delicious. Consistent with previous note.

PnP a small glass.
Concord grape orange blossom pink grapefruit ginger and canned mandarin orange on the nose.
Light ripe and racy on palate with flavours that follow the nose with a slight saline note.
Delicious goes with strawberry short cake or raspberry trifle not cream brûlée or chocolate desserts.
