Bottled in July 2017, this was in barrique for 28 years and provides a fascinating insight into the qualities of vin doux naturel from Roussillon. Despite its age, this is still ultra-fresh with vibrant acidity balancing the rich notes of marmalade, honey and caramel. There is also a subtle whiff of volatility – not a fault, but a contributing factor to the wine’s interest and lift. This is one of those rare things – a perfect wine with chocolate.
