| DC's birthday dinner at Matteo's (8/7/06) - Wine #6 - Colour: clear, deep orange/hazel/strong tea. Nose: clean, pronounced apricot, orange peel and wet tea leaves. Palate: medium sweetness and acidity, medium bodied with apricot, marmalade, caramel and cold strong tea flavours, and a reasonably lengthy finish. Comments: I found this wine not too sweet and rich compared to some of the later vintages. It seems to lack the usual full-bodied mouth feel that one has come to expect from a Noble One, but it is probably a slightly below-par bottle. |
