On the palate the sip is soft and enveloping: the texture is silky, the sweetness balanced by a pleasant sapidity and by a persistence that leaves toasted and leather echoes. It should be enjoyed in small measures, in a tulip glass and at a temperate temperature, to appreciate its layers slowly. The wooden case that accompanies it also makes it an elegant collector’s piece or a gift for those who appreciate great vintages.
