Tasting Notes - Margan Verdelho 2005

Of clear interest on the back label is the vine age – 40 years. I’m not sure there are too many older Verdelho vines in Australia. Pale gold, only a touch richer than the 2005 sem. Very good nose, deftly walking a line between out and out rich tropical fruits and classy liquuered notes. Thick, ripe palate, heaps of powerful fruits early but the palate dries out, losing some of this intensity, almost to the point of appearing a little dilute. Ok, could have been very good.
