Oranges, apricot, fig, toasted hazelnuts and warm spices. Holding up quite nicely for a ‘91, retaining some good acidity. Cork was in excellent shape and come out in one piece.

If you didn’t know this 1991 was available, you aren’t following SOMMSelect. You should, cause this is beyond comprehension. I’ve had aged Pato reds in Portugal, a benefit of good timing. Nothing more. They were exceptional. This white matches that wow. Submit.

Waxy, earthy, spice laden nose with subtle citrus peel fruit. Quite vibrant o. Placate if a touch austere to start. Opens with air and warmth. Shows off tangerine, candied lemon peel, fennel seed and waxy flavors. I would have enjoyed a touch more depth. Surprisingly it continues to open with 2 plus hours of air.

Sort of like a more floral, less succulent LdH. Some oxidative notes (perhaps due to crumbling cork).
