Beautiful unique testing challenge for the senses @ £33 & was my best find last year 😍 If you want to experience quite a different wine then get this 👍 Similar to a white Tondonia 91/99 or a 20 year old Bordeaux Pessac White😎 I got it from @paulroblestorres

🏵 95 points

📍 Chateau Musar White 2001

🍇 Obaideh & Merwah (related to Chardonnay & Semillon)

📝 Best slightly warmer but my ice decanter kept it getting too warm in 25C 🌞

🍷 Honey baked golden tawny orange (yes that is its true colour!)

👃 Charred & tortured orange zest, baked honey, apricot foam smoke, smashed frangipane tart, honeysuckle & sweet smoked oak w/ sticky toffee fallen beaten apple pudding, diesel & shaved citrus zest

👄 Med+ body of creamed burnt orange zest in gloopy honey w/ a citrus mineral infusion, dried caramel apricot & baked apple compete

🎯 Long burnt marmalade sticky licky lips w/ a caramel burnt toffee apricot & char baked apple magnetic woody but not overly dry mineral linger
