Bottled 2022. Deeper coloured than many of the other wines at this tasting. Limited on the nose, showing only a little fragrance and gentle perfume. Sweet and honeyed on the palate with a slight earthiness to the quince fruit, nicely bitter yet honeyed. Warm aftertaste of honey with bitter burnt sugar. Intense on the palate and aftertaste, leading to a big, long apricot and mango finish. A little overly sweet but a very fine wine. Served blind. 91/100. Drunk 17-May-22.
