Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

yeah forget. Jurançon moelleux, mango juice, orange blossom, all-flower honey from the Alpes, and fresh quince jelly. Quince jelly tears everything up anyway. In my book, in any case

restaurant Palate

are we sure this is not from the 1970-1976 vintages? The lower strength and the herbal oak that was about to seize control are not obligatorily great news, but all the rest is perfect, honey, mead, halva, Sauternes, quinces indeed, apricots, mirabelles… So a Turner with a hole in a corner, that’s still a Turner, no?

timer Finish

it didn’t even get too drying, but some varnishy touches come unexpected
