From a split. Amber in colour. Very spicy nose, hint of petrol, orange peel, almost Sauternes like in quality. Spicy on the palate, notes of orange varnish. A bit lacking in complexity, though there's certainly concentration. Some grapefruit bitterness, powerful acidity; I imagine this is quite sweet but the sweetness is completely swamped by the acidity. (As for me, I was expecting something a lot sweeter.) An incredible botrytis-inflected palate. Medium finish.
