Thursday, January 11, 2024 - Oooh, this has come a bit too far. Deep sherry color. Still the nose is not overtly oxidized, but a kind of oxidation that comes naturally over time. At first a honey tone, then a mix of nuts and camphor wood kicks in to make an impression an oloroso sherry. There is still a freshness here. Full bodied attack, almost a sweet tone at first in the vein of honey. On the mid palate the wine tightens up, and nutty sherry tones take over. The finish is fresh, and lifted by some citrus tones, while the aftertaste is nutty and marked by some dry wood and camphor. Long. This is clearly a good wine that has aged gracefully into what is probably what you can expect from an aged Alsace white wine. But now it is too old. For those interested in antiquities.
