Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine again

air Nose

it’s younger than the 1984, but it’s certainly more mature, without much bread/yeast/grain and with many more fruits, including some very zesty tangerines and blood oranges. I find touches of mineral sulphur again (not burnt, no eggs, no cabbage, no matches…), then drops of Gueuze, sweet apples, plums and just a little barley sugar. Nice, clean, natural and mature

restaurant Palate

same, more or less, although it got a little grassy and bitter this time. Not its best side, I’d say, loses points now. The grains are more obvious as well, porridge, oatcakes, bread… And always this bitterness (walnut skin.) Too bad

timer Finish

of medium length, grassy and grainy. Apples
