  Deep burnished orange colour, like fire in a glass. “Like eating a cookie in a flower garden”, says E. Floral tropical fruit nose. Huge rich dense wine. Complex interplay of sweet, floral/perfume and savoury/bitter notes on the palate. White flowers and vanilla wafer on the entry and mid-palate, with orange marmalade coming in on the finish. Some tannic bite as well, like it had some skin contact. Quite an experience to drink this.

  Huge, weighty, complex and lengthy wine of spice combined with wood-oil scents. Much more sweetness in the aftertaste than was evidence when this wine was drunk with sweeter foods. Could last 40 years.
