Quinta dos Corvos 20 Year Old White

[Eric Menchen]

(Bottled 2017.) Very concentrated aromas suggest a Tokaji of 6P, with honey nougat, and an odd rubber aroma. It isn't quite rubber, but something funky, something like a roasted-stewed dried porcini after being rehydrated. Oyster sauce! (That's it.) In the mouth there is a warm burn, but not too hot, that carries down the throat. Tastes fairly sweet with orange marmalade, dried oxidized candied apricot. This is interesting, but that funky aroma is a bit of a disctraction. 87 points.
