This magnum reveals age with a bouquet where the mustiness of mould is at the forefront, layered with nuances of sponge cake, nuts, honey, seashells, bruised apples, and a touch of Jerez. The nose might challenge with its pronounced earthiness (or rather mould-iness), yet the palate tells a different story, unfurling gracefully with each second, like sea waves. It offers a spectrum of tastes, from the deep sweetness of honey and Jerez to the tangy bite of lemon curd, all anchored by the familiar comfort of bruised apples.
