Sunday, November 19, 2023 - Deep golden with amber tint. Complex nose and palate with quince, honey, minerals, pears, blossoms, citrus. On the palate light on its feet, yet with outstanding richness and intensity of flavors. Shows some grippy but round tannins in the finish, not as bitter as in some other première tries. 5/13/17/8. This is not sweet enough to go with or, for my taste, even as a dessert. Better as an apéritif or e. g. with game. -2028.
