75cl bottle. Appearance - golden with a hint of orange. Gentle bit of bubble. Nose - farmyard note, bruised apples and pears. Taste - mineral, creamy custard and cooked pear, a big tarte tatin. Palate - medium bodied and very creamy. Overall - didn't expect it to be so creamy and that was a nice surprise against the expected tang and high acid.
