88 Nightcap. Waitrose bin-end bought on a whim. Botrytised muscatel de Alejandria, which, according to my new bed time read (personal fan of Oz Clark, wish he'd find his way back to wine TV), was a prized sweet wine before Phylloxera spoiled the fun. Best at room temp.
Seville lemon liquor, grape concentrate, dried apricot, herby stalks, classic botrytis heavy orange ring rustic marmalade. Medium sweet, but lighter with lifting acidity, although probs better ~2y ago. Granite, snapped twig on the fin.

A private lunch (Restaurant Santceloni **, Madrid, Spain): Intense, floral, perfumed, tropical fruit, spices; delicately sweet, wonderful balance with acidity and bitters, energetic, good flavours and length.
