A light mahogany with a greenish tinge to the rim.

Nose has hazelnut oil, candied chestnut, orange blossom.

Super smooth entry, seems sweet at first. Then gently dries out. Some unsulphured apricot. The long wood aging shows but the orchard fruit note - dried quince - remains predominant.

Fantastic very long orange citrus-infused finish.

Joyous. A wedding present from AHB. Consumed with very old friends in SW France. Life is good.

That's a great present, I love this wine. Alas, the only bottle I had (which was also the 2022 bottling) is gone. But at least it went to a worthy cause (my thirst). That said, I'm definitely inviting AHB to my wedding.
