  Delicious with zesty acidity offsetting the sugar

  Similar flavor components to my last bottle, two years ago, but a wildly different portrait. Friendly nose of petrol and floral tones with lingering stoney traits - very nice, though a touch muted. The palate shows deep notes of honey, bruised apple, orange blossom, mango and other orange-toned citrus fruit that are contrasted against subtle notes of lemon, jasmine, ginger, earth, singed underbrush, and sherry. It's the last bit that was concerning, as there was a prominent sherry note on the nose and palate that, accompanied by a rusty tint, concerned me. Overall it turned out okay, particularly on day two, but if you are holding these I would strongly recommend checking in sooner than later.

  Nicely acidic with grapefruit and lime. Finishes a little creamy and a hint of sweetness.

  From memory – Sharp and fresh with forward lemon/ lime fruit and quince that backs off as a warm jasmine/ ginger note moves in to balance out the acidity. With air this shows some honeyed and nutskin tones and retains its elegant floral character along with a touch of petrol on the outset and even a suggestion of mint leaf. On day two this thinned out in the middle and into the backside considerably, which was disappointing. Besides that this was good to very good.
