Drunk at dinner at the AEVP, at the dinner following the (abandoned) barcos rabellos race.
Bottled 2022: burnished copper colour, 50% opaque. A little red toffee on the nose under a blanket of lemon marmalade. Smooth, sweet and honeyed entry. Honey and sweet orange mid-palate; generous acidity keeps the freshness. Fresh and acidic aftertaste of citrus. Lovely long finish of grapefruit oil and cinder toffee. A pleasant surprise. 83/100. Drunk 24-Jun-22.
