Medium golden yellow, silver reflections, fine, persistent mousse. Dark minerality, initially limes, a hint of bitter oranges, fine roasted aromas, nuances of coffee, ripe figs, some blossom honey, incredibly multi-faceted bouquet that develops well with air. Complex, finely-meshed, firm texture, good fruit expression, a hint of cherries and liquorice, has great vertical depth, delicate aftertaste of blackberries and liquorice, lemony touch, great length, completely convincing. Use a large Burgundy glass to explore all the nuances.

Aromas of salted lemons, green apples, olives, grilled pineapple, biscuits, saltines, white cocoa and salted caramel. So seductive, concentrated and intense. Fine and sleek. Energy. Concentrated, salty dried-fruit character. Keeps going. Transparent and fresh.

Soft and smoky at the start and then saline and refreshing on the finish. It’s more like a bit of told-you-so evidence than necessarily, the one Dom P you would choose from the current range available. But, boy, does it persist!
