Trepidation given the age … should have been decanted but I wanted to see it develop in the glass. Golden-orange colour worried me. First was not good - heavy oxidation, caramels, nutmeg, wood (although nice and buttery). Second glass vanilla, lemon peel, burnt peaches, then it balanced out with fresh apricot and lemon zest. Crazy long apricot jam finish. At this point it became an exceptional wine. Third glass had a lovely nose, rounded and buttery on the palate, notes of orange and cinnamon (?). Fourth glass was perfect, green plums, lovely and crisp with good minerality and balance — at La Spiaggia, Constance Belle Mare, Mauritius
