  The labels did not specify whether this was sec, demi-sec, moelleux etc. Top 5mm of cork blackened and fraying, rest of cork excellent. Splendid, lively orangey gold colour. Subtle nose of white flowers and celery with a hint of what could be oxidation. This has the very slightly thicker texture of a sweet Vouvray but is not gloopy. Covers the palate with a sensation of liquid marmalade with a little sweetness but more Seville orange bitterness. A great pleasure, perhaps more intellectual than sensory because of the bitterness.
