Maury 10 Ans d´Age Cuvée Speciale Mas Amiel

Et stort skridt op fra den 6-årige. Her er meget mere kompleksitet, og den rå sødme suppleres af noter af tørret frugt og garrigue. Et vældig seriøst alternativ til colheita-port.

Mas Amiel's classic, non-vintage renditions of Maury keep getting better for the price, first off because the genre remains a challenge to sell and the estate wants to make an impressive price:quality statement, but also simply because the younger wines - such as the current batch of nv Maury 6 Ans d'Age that I recently tasted - are now based entirely on wine harvested and vinified since the aspiring and inspired new team took over here in 1997. This elegant wine redolent of roasted chestnuts, toasted pralines, dried cherries, and cocoa powder is smooth and polished on the palate, retains a lovely, refreshing brightness and finishes with superb subtlety of flavor and sweetness. There are many more things one can serve this with, though, than chocolate desserts - one simply needs to experiment. Given the price of a bottle, and since it will remain fresh for months after opening, there is no excuse!

Kompleks duft med meget frisk frugt, mørke kirsebær, lakrids og kirsebærsten. Sødmefuld smag med stor fylde, cremet med fin syre og lang sødmefuld eftersmag med moden frugt.
