Score 16.5/20 · Drink 1996-2011, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2008
Blend of two local varieties, Merwah and Obeideh. Both varieties are partly fermented in oak barriques where they mature for a further nine months. They are then blended, bottled and aged for a further four years before release. 25% new barriques each year. Dark tawny-pink colour. Nose of raisins, papaya, candied pineapple, brazil nut. Dry, full-bodied and pronounced with noticeable tannin (yes – tannin in a white!) and acidity. A definite toasty nut-skin character. (LG)
