Honey on toast straight off the bat, walnut oil and a very light touch of twiglet makes me think this isn't in the greatest shape but shows some great complexity. In the mouth there is snappy red apple skin from the off though the mouthfeel is rather thin, sleek on the finish with plenty of class.

1969 Sec. Deep gold. Lovely lemon pith nose, with a mineral saline edge. Remarkable amounts of green apple, biscuit, like a tarte aux pommes. Fresh, zesty, mineral. Green and malic, sharp and tart. Whistle clean and fresh, very light and minerally. Linear style with light texture.
