Richard Mayson: This is the first time that I have tasted this legendary wine. Pale golden amber in color, with a touch of olive green, disappointing at first sight; ethereal, spicy, scented nose, honey and orange blossom, slightly caramelized at the edges; lovely, gentle, sweet fruit, mead, wonderful texture, making it a joy to hold in the mouth, fading yet still retaining power and a vestige of grip. A very, very beautiful wine. 19.5
