Estimate
...powerful nose, quite oaky at the moment although there is plenty of fruit packed behind it...palate is dense and intense, with layers of botrytized fruit, stem ginger and quince towards the persistent and refined finish.
Dried pineapple, apricot, fig and acacia honey on the nose. Some stem ginger and lemon pie, too. Sweet and luscious with dried fruit that’s layered with toast and spice. Fantastic concentration and length.
...oh-so-tantalizing with intense notes of candied ginger, beeswax, fenugreek and crystalized citrus peel over a core of pineapple upside-down cake, honey coated almonds, pink grapefruit and peach preserves with a waft of musk perfume...rich, concentrated palate explodes with spicy fireworks in the mouth, complementing the the exotic fruit and peach preserves layers, with a racy line to lend just enough lift, finishing with epic length and depth.
Clean, ripe, pure and long, showing seamless white peach, quince, ginger, almond cream and green fig flavors that glide through, ending with style, a touch of panache and a bitter almond note that echoes.
Neat, pure with an attractive botrytised expression. Citrus, spice and apricot notes.
