June 28, 2015 - Durian and Wine at Alex's (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): Really nice. This is ageless and does not seemed to have changed at all from the last bottle. It had a lovely, heady nose with complex notes of salted fig peel, preserved limes and kumquats, sweet molasses and toffees, little drifts of coffee grounds, sweet fruit cake aromas - really lovely. The palate had tons of character on it, with a real flush of bright acidity framing lovely, clear flavours of preserved fruit - cherries, plums and kumquats - alongside sweet honey, maple syrup and molasses, all packed together in a nicely focused, balanced package and stretched out into a long, spice infused finish backed by a mushroomy earthiness. Delicious, palate-staining stuff. I loved this.
