  In my last note in 2020 I suggested leaving it another 5-8 years. I only lasted 3 but this is drinking very well now - glad I didn't wait longer.
  
  Appearance: bright, mid gold, slight straw tinge. Fine beading.
  
  Nose: Intense and complex. Stone fruits, some restrained citrus and baked bread notes, cashews, a little spice and whiff of smoke.
  
  Palate: rich mouthfeel. Marzipan, stonefruits, hint of honey and toast. Good acidity for its age. Well balanced. Lingering finish. Excellent.

  Vinøs hyttetur 2023: Blind. Vinøs, kompleks, rik stil - men balansert. En strålende vin og fantastisk QPR.
