NV 30 Year Old Moscatel Bodegas Malaga Virgen
Brown and gloopy. Extremely strong smell of eucalyptus. Congruent palate but that is not a criticism, it was really rather lovely. My #2, the group's #4. Tasted blind 09 January 2020 courtesy AHB.

Dark brown with a narrow green rim, the brown a lovely chestnut tone. Rich and concentrated honey on the nose, lots of dark treacle but with a vague citrus tone. Very thick on the palate but with levels of acidity that keeps an attempt at a balance. Intense honey flavours with a clover emphasis, rich and sweet. The acidity shows again on the aftertaste before a big clover honey finish. A very long lasting but intensely sweet finish.
88/100. Tasted 09-Jan-20. Decanted 1 hour.
