Oxidized nutty honey sherry character, still has some nice phenolics and pleasant acid

Quite a deep old gold, light honey colour slightly hazy. Intact and interesting on the nose , lanolin and candle wax , touches of roast almonds and bruised apple. On the palate quite intense and with lemon pith , orange peel , bruised apple and candle wax . There is a lightly sherried character noticeable after a short while that gets more noticeable with time . Good acidity and weight , creamy mouthfeel . Quite reasonable length. This obviously should be drunk now (probably should have been drunk a decade ago too) won’t improve and only will become more sherried with more time . Commendable and a nice surprise but drink quickly once open ! This bottle just one of the weird but wonderful choices available from T Wright Wines in Bolton (uk) , a real gem of a shop that I throughly recommend.
