By the glass at Bar Augustine (what a treasure this place is!). Burnt orange and gold in the glass, close to an aged Sauternes in that respect but of course with a much lighter texture. An oxidative nose of wax, grilled lemons and golden raisins, along with some mint and eucalyptus. Clearly past its peak but with plenty of soft fruit, muted spice, herbs and fine acidity. Held up over two hours' time in the glass.

Burned toast and butter opens up into a mouthful of grapefruit. Amazingly fresh for the age
