Again this was an inexpensive buy that has been in the cellar for about 3 years, though it obviously would be very happy there for much, much longer. Theres jasmine, pithy lime, dried mango and kerosine on the very expressive nose. It’s lithe and nervy on the palate; a fine balance between almost viscous tropical sweetness and piercing, ripe lime acidity. It ends up feeling light and breezy though - yes it’s sweet but there’s real delicacy here. There’s also a sense that this wine is out of its childhood in the haunting, almost savoury twist to the lime-cordial and lighter fluid finish.
