Pale mahogany colour. Intense yet precise nose of fig rolls, roasted chestnuts and fresh almonds. The palate is nutty and rich, with a fine line of acidity and smoke to add both proportion and complexity. This highly intense and very fine Rivesaltes is long and succulent, unwinding in the glass with a myriad flavours from long barrel ageing. Despite the concentration and sugar in this wine, it is both fresh and fleet-footed. Outstanding.
