Bottled in 2022.
Beautiful deep amber colour with perhaps the slightest touch of red left. Quite consistent to the edge where it fades out.
Nose is quite nice. Some orange. A little caramel.
In the mouth, I get little primary fruit, followed by a huge hit of golden syrup, accompanied by an unctious mouthfeel. There is a little acidity, too. Once that all fades there is a pleasingly long aftertaste. But, unfortunately, I also get a bit of spirit and a bit of astringentcy which I don't like, throughout. Also, it feels rather simple. Would like some more complexity.
I hope it is not unfair to say that I found this merely "ok" and not as good as I'd hope a 16-year-old colheita could be.
