The nose is wonderfully opulent full of very ripe, dense fruit, concentrated apple puree, ripe quince, soft peach skins, traces of pineapple pastries. Exposed to air, there is the appearance of a vegetal component of curly and flat-leaf parsley, then watercress and radish leaves.Full-bodied palate, very fleshy, apple again, orange peel, coarsely crushed black peppercorns, more intense spices including cardamom and clove, zesty marmalade with a little green plum.Not a wine for an aperitif, or a seafood platter really, but perfect for a hearty plaice dish at least, with celery puree, or with cod pie; pair preferably with hot food.
