Intense gold - looks older than 9 years.
Nose of pineapple, orange peel, marmalade, barley water & a smattering of spice. There's stone and flint as well.
The minerality provides a parallel backbone to the acidity, which is not overwhelming. Soft, fleshy and waxy with flecks of gunpowder, flint with lime. Immensely complex, long, layered and generally ace.
