Fine. Rather pale and tart and thin, I think, though it does soften with time in the glass and has real pale red fruit and soft Cab Franc green pepperiness. Nicely done but not for me. — 3 years ago

9.1

Fascinating. Grenache gris and blanc + carignan gris and blanc. Pronounced nose. Smokiness, salt, gentle fishiness; butteriness, ginger, pale apricot and honey dew melon pit as it opens up. Dry, high acid, medium to high alcohol, full body, textured, pronounced but delicate flavour intensity, very long finish. Very saline which combined with acid creates an lovely grip.

9.1

Deep, dark amber.
Medium nose.
Sweet (not exceedingly so), tangy, smooth, well-balanced alcohol, fabulously long finish.
Orange, caramel, mocha, chocolate, fig, stewed plum, raisins, smoky almonds.
Rich, flavoursome, refined. Drinks like a Madeira with no Madeira greenness, much less searing acidity. Much softer.
