Tasting Notes

With 87g of residual sugar, this elegant 1977 Boal displays an enticing aroma of clementine zest, roasted walnut, dried apricot, Oriental spice and old wood, and continues to delight in the mouth with a finely balanced package of candied citrus, praline and espresso. Acidity is stunning, and the finish is clean, long and memorable.
