Tasting notes

100% moscatel de gran menudo. The wine has spent three years in glass outside, before 3-4 years in barrels of oak in the cellar. This is probably from the 1996-vintage, but is bottled without vintage-date. Dark brown colour, slight yellow/greenish at the rim. The intense nose shows caramel, raisins, dust, some citrus-notes perhaps closest to orange-peel. Very sweet and heavy style in the mouth. Quite cloying, almost PX in style. Medium acidity. Fine fruit. Hints of caramel, raisins. Not much muscat-notes left. Good length with hints of coffee and old woods in the finish. I wish this had more freshness. Too heavy for me.
