A lovely bright pale yellow old colour, this wine has a nose of ripe pear and citrus fruits, with a lovely smoky undercurrent. The palate is similar to the nose, with the fruit flavours to the fore, but with an additional touch of butter and with the smokiness supplemented by some good spice on the long finish.
