  June 5, 2022 - Gold in a glass. Nose dominated by saffron, orange and apricot. Fresh enough attack, well rounded complex taste and fairly long finish. Sweet but not cloying, and a slight element of bitterness gives lift and adds complexity. Clearly showing some age at almost 16 years, and all the better for it. Prime time drinking now.

  December 1, 2021 - What a lovely dessert wine this is. It sits lightly on the palate yet has just the right texture and flavours
  I get some fig in addition to the dominant apricot.

  April 27, 2019 - In a sweet spot now and can go an extra 5 but no need to wait. Luscious but not overly viscous. Orange peel and apricots in the sun. Nice wine.

  March 24, 2019 - Nice, pleasant, played exactly the role it is meant for. Nice close of the tasting. Pretty well balanced sweetness. Young, tropical and honey-ish. Not super complex, but not simple either. Probably even better in a few more years. More or less delicious to drink.

On the palate is less precise and needs to balance the dense sweetness with a sharp acidity. You have to let it rest another five years to finally obtain the desired elixir. Much better than previous, flawed bottle.
  
  Por copas. Seguramente 2006 proporciona lo mejor que puede dar de sí esta etiqueta. Muy joven, muy fresco en nariz lleno de notas cítricas tipo aceite de bergamota. En boca es menos preciso y le falta equilibrar el denso dulzor con una puntiaguda acidez. Hay que dejarlo reposar otros cinco años para obtener, por fin, el elixir deseado. Mucho mejor que la anterior botella fallida.
