My word, 2020 was already five years ago. Colour: white wine. Nose: it’s remarkable how a good age—22 years is certainly a good age—brings complexity and starts to deconstruct primary aromas. Here we’re moving towards layers of pastries, apple tarts, turnovers, strudel, with hints of vanilla pods and honeysuckle… In the end, we land on apple compote, the kind we all ate by the ton as children, didn’t we? With water: fresh barley emerges, which is amusing. It’s not the first time this has happened with these Longmorns. Mouth (neat): oh, citrus, pepper and mint! Though the alcohol does block things just a bit. With water: and there it is—a cavalcade of ripe orchard fruits, joined by lemon, grapefruit, aniseed and liquorice. Finish: fairly long, with similar notes. A very citrusy aftertaste. Comments: for lovers of grapefruit, among whom I’m counting myself.
