Darroze 1985 Bellair GBA 43.5% 700ml delgado-zuleta Nick Farr - Gourmet TravellerBrown colour with golden tints. This nose shows both spicy (clove, pepper), woody (tobacco, toast) and fruity aromas (prune, quince). On the palate, the attack is supple, the tannins round. A nice balance with a more fruity end (candied orange peel, ripe apricot). Superb.
