The wine is golden in colour, with intense notes of stone fruit, beeswax, pineapple and passionfruit. Layered beneath there are also hints of brioche, hazelnut, marmalade and butterscotch. Botrytis has resulted in a mouth feel that is rich and unctuous. The Semillon contributes structure and length, while the Sauvignon component adds refreshing acidity to ensure the wine remains perfectly balanced
Deep amber colour reflecting substantial bottle-age. The bouquet is very complex with smoked tea-leaves and burnt tobacco nuances, as well as honey, dried flowers and glacé fruits. The wine is full and rich, deep and concentrated and very sweet, but also finishes remarkably cleanly. There is plenty of acid and tannin ensuring that, plus a lingering warmth of alcohol. Big-time botrytis. Extra long aftertaste. A powerful and exotic wine that would be great with smelly cheeses. 10 JUN 2020 Drink 2020–2025
