The aromas penetrate your nostrils with notes of radish and lemon zest, allied to intimations of the sultana, quince jelly and caramel that then predominate on a creamy, glycerol-rich palate. Some of the pungency and sharpness intimated on the nose comes out as invigorating but slightly inharmonious palate impingement, and the finish is at once slightly sticky and tinglingly, tartly citric. But for sheer length and grip – not to mention aging potential – this is remarkable stuff. High acidity and recent sulfuring combine to render this libation slightly ungainly and awkward at this stage. There were only 80 liters of it. DAVID SCHILDKNECHT
