June 15, 2020 - Very recognizable botrytis. Highly aromatic and jammy on the nose: quince, saffron, all types of confit stone fruit (peaches, nectarines, apricots), honey, vanilla pastry cream; some fresh ginger and clove, raw walnuts, some roasted coffee, chocolate, orangette, English bitter orange marmalade.
High acidity despite its age; quite oxidative on the finish with some mushrooms. Incredibly complex and with infinite ageing potential.
