Chateau Revelette Or Serie 1999

Chateau Revelette Or Serie 1999: A rich, golden-orange hue. Lovely nose of apricot and marmalade, with toasted nuts. Just a little hint of volatile acids too. Beautiful entry, very pure and focussed, yet voluptuous and balanced too. Initially very feminine, although it shows more grip on the finish, together with a mulled spice flavour alongside the apricot botrytis. Gentle acidity which gives that opulent feel. For drinking now and over the next few years. 18/20 (7/3/05)
