97/100 55

40.7 Brix. Golden hue. Essence-like intensity with honey, marmalade, apricot, Asian spices and a hint of musk and super exotic flavours that remind me of durian fruit. Like other Framingham wines in this tasting it shows wonderfully purity with a complete lack of off flavours and volatile acidity common in wines with such profound botrytis influence.
