there is something pleasantly bitter on the nose: burnt sugar or bitter almond. the palate answers this with fluid, rippling sweetness expressed in ripe, juicy, refreshing pear fruit. the bitter notes remain and create an appetizing, tangy edge to this concentrated wine that is streamlined by balancing freshness despite the residual sugar. a lovely balancing act with a bracingly clean, medium dry finish and echoes of citrus zest. drink 2017–2035.
