Note di degustazione
The 2020 Noble Late Harvest Semillon offers notions of apricot purée, honey and lemon panna cotta with spiced poached apples. Additional hints of cinnamon, saffron and ginger blend with honeysuckle and quince purée undertones. This gorgeous, sweet wine carries a gentle 11% alcohol content. However, it could benefit from a touch more acidity to elevate its score further. It fermented and matured for 36 months in new French oak barrels. Only 1,450 bottles were produced.

The 2020 Noble Late Harvest is pure Semillon with 157g/L residual sugar. Coming from three parcels, it was basket-pressed for two days and aged entirely in new French oak for 36 months. The very pure bouquet has dried honey, golden raisin, quince and yellow flowers, beautifully defined. The palate is exquisitely balanced, smooth and harmonious. It is not quite as complex as the 2019 or 2020 but with great delineation towards the finish. Very fine.
