Tasting: Fat, rich, sweet, dense and packed with ripe and over-ripened apricots, pineapple, vanilla and candied orange, all coated in honey, vanilla and spices. Quite primal and sweet at the moment, the acidity seems to be holding back, while the sugars are in the foreground. To be enjoyed around 2025-2030. |
