Tasting Notes
Strong golden yellow. A delicate oxidative note on the nose, strong dried fruit notes, with some apricot jam underneath. Rather broad on the palate, sweet, the minerality is there, but it lacks complexity, seems somewhat watered down, clearly lacks (this bottle) the length for its class. One of the few real disappointments.
