Offering up aromas of crisp yellow apple

The 2009 Promontory is just beginning to show the early signs of aromatic development

Musar, Musar White Size:6x750ml Offering up aromas of crispThis wine has gone through some oak ageing in a style reminiscent of Bordeaux Blancs from the 1960s, although slightly warmer. On the palate it is joyfully fresh and expressive, there's no fruit banality, instead a complex array of spices, honey and stoney aromas, followed by a long finish. It seems to be developing faster than the older white grands vins; it stayed in a good shape for five days after opening but did not improve.
