Polished dark brown colour with a yellow rim. A wonderful nose of beeswax and mandarin. Smooth on the palate with gentle flavours mixing fruit and polish. The gentle acidity keeps the balance well and support lovely development on the palate. A great flush of flavours comes through on the aftertaste before a very big, very long finish. 90/100. Drunk 16-Dec-15. Decanted 1 hour.
Drunk at Lunch at Otto's on Wednesday 16 December 2015.
