Wow. Any 15 year old wine is a gamble but this one paid off. Deep golden colour, almost shocking the contrast compared to the younger wines tasted beforehand. Nose is toasted sesame and popcorn, all oak and allusion - one of those wines that connects with memories. On the palate it is rich, textured, almost oily, resolving to succulent tropical fruit. Thrilling.
