This wine offers a delightful medley of aromas, featuring cooked mushrooms, cream, cheese, spices, and a hint of caramelised orange peel, notes of honey, baked apple, and uzvar. While it may be less complex and nuanced than previous selections (i.e. disgorgements from 2003 to 2006), its youthful and insanely quaffable nature makes it incredibly delicious. It's my favourite of the night.
