Henriques & Henriques Sercial 2001 Château de Malleret and a hint of spiceBurnished golden colour. Dry, nutty, lemon spiked nose. On the palate this is not quite bone dry, but that racy, dry, underripe pear and apple quality of acidity shoots through the wine. Not quite the aromatic fireworks of the 10 Years Old, but a cool, composed, very sophisticated wine with a walnutty dryness and cool though hugely decisive acidity. Very classy drinking.
