| Taste | Medium body. Mature and on top. Still sweet but will not be better. Complex and balanced. Toffee, vanilla, gingerbread and muck more in taste. Easy to drink and like with a nice and quite attractive finish with some delicate, seductive old acidity. Very tasty indeed. | Average score | 16.38 |
