{screwcap, 13%} Pale straw. Classic nose (and palate) of lanolin, olive oil, beeswax, hint of grapefruit. Slightly greasy texture, although not acid deficient. No oak, fairly even palate balance, medium weight, medium length finish. Not really an aperitif wine; works better with food. I do think - since the 1927 cuvee pinches the best grapes - that this is a shorter term (up to 8 years) cellaring prospect these days.
