Sapidity

Peter Nixon - The Wine Libertine
92/100

“A farmhouse cloudy appearance. An appealing and intriguing nose of Japanese salty-plum, yellow peach and tangerine. The palate is, as the saying goes, ‘textured for extra pleasure’, with an almost mustard-honey richness, and satisfyingly mouth-puckering, kombucha-like tartness. A really impressive and intriguing expression, which would be a winning-match with strongly flavoured dishes such as Katsudon, or Christmas ham & Mustard fruits.”

“A little wild and intriguing, the grapes were fermented on skin, then partially matured in barrels. It’s gorgeously complex and fragrant on the nose, showing golden apple, apricot, oatmeal and mixed spice aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering broad mouthfeel and fine texture. There’s a slight firmness from fine phenolics, making it wonderfully structured and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2027.”
