First bottle from a lot of three. Upper shoulder level, relatively dark colour, like a Sercial or a Tokaji; the nose is a bit like an old-fashioned Szamorodni, Turkish delight, apples, pâte sucrée in an oven, toffee and barley sugar; very dry on the palate, with a reasonably intact structure, slightly edgy acidity, hints of hazelnut and almond. Not in very good condition but quite fascinating.

A private dinner (@ Home): Base of neck. Full gold. Old but vinous and healthy, well-constructed but drier than expected.
