Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

first, the sweet wine doesn’t get in the way, and second, the malt is/was rather natural, well balanced, and seemingly ready to welcome the wine. So fruit jams and flowers abound, but the whole isn’t extravagant. It reminds me of the best Muscats de Beaume de Venise

restaurant Palate

ah yes, very good, well done. Roasted raisins, honey cake, oriental pastries, malt, baked apples, roasted almonds and peanuts, pecan pie… All is good and very well balanced

timer Finish

medium, rather fresh, and never too raisiny
