From half bottle. A little fizz upon opening, nothing lasting. Apricots, petrol and tropical fruit salad on the nose. A heavyweight, almost oily body with generous sweet fruit. Ample acidity on the finish. Just for fun, I’ll try to keep another bottle around for 5-10 more years…
7.5% abv. AP 13. 375ml. 65° F. Open 24 hours ago. This wine drinks better in November night than it does in April pastel. Fat textured and dry, with over-productive assertions of glycerin green pineapple, white peach, maraschino, and chocolate butter; startling eruptions of crystalline salts and calcium; rosin-yellow Boden; fruit and herb action is liberated and active. Passionfruit; remarkable clarity of mineral; long attenuated and fat-fluid finish. Putty. It might be time to wait another year or two before opening the next bottle.

Nose is a delight - exotic fruit with petrol notes and white flowers. Has some serious drive and acidity to back up the lycees/ mango/ lime curd. Delightful.

7.5% abv. AP 13. 375ml. Startling broken slate perfume. Stone bleeding salted white fruit. Starchy sweet melon. Pear. Strawberry. Very drinkable. Uncluttered. Marine.
