Tasting notes
Very mature, both in golden colour and in aroma, which is all earth and toffee with dried-out tropical fruit. Oxidation leaves the finish lacking freshness. (RH)

Pale green-edged color. Lime, nuts and marzipan on the nose, along with a complicating leesy aspect. Rich and pliant but quite dry, with flavors of pink grapefruit and spice. Fresh and focused. A very successful combination of weight and restraint. Lingering, subtle aftertaste.
