51-year-old Mosel BA from the red-slate "Spice Garden" — and it held. Honeyed botrytis, dried apricot, beeswax, a flicker of petrol, and still that racy Mosel acidity cutting through the sweetness. The geology (volcanic red slate and ironstone) gives an exotic spiciness that younger BAs from flatter sites can't match.
