Tasting Notes

At 90g of residual sugar, this lovely medium-sweet 1968 boasts a fine bouquet of roasted chestnut, espresso, ocean breeze and citrus lime. In the mouth, there are delicious flavours of molasses, quince, coffee bean, maple and lemon meringue, laced with stunning acidity, tension and great balance. HIghly enjoyable all the way to a persistent and clean finish.
