This is such a classic even in its youth - lemon, lime, wet stone, apple, apricot, peach, a lovely sense of clove spice, abut of smoke, saffron and the beginnings of tertiary dried apricots notes. The sweetness is offset by plenty of acidity, yielding a wine with excellent balance and a very long finish. Outstanding quality, long life ahead.

Not quite as excellent as expected, but nothing to complain about! “That one, we said we’ll take that one!”
