Botrytized richness meets ethereal elegance after three decades. Caramelized pear, apricot preserves and burnt orange build with stunning concentration. The palate shows remarkable freshness despite its age, the sweetness perfectly integrated with bright acidity. A wine that has traded youthful power for profound sophistication.
