Grandjo Colheita Tardia, Real Companhia Velha, Douro 2002

Portugal's Botrytis Cinerea version from Semillon grapes

The wine has all the characteristics of a well made Botrytis wine:

Yellow shifting into light golden lively color.

A nose reminiscent of dried apricots and citrus blossom.

The flavors are repeated in the mouth with a slightly overpowering sweetness.

The wine is indeed tasty yet simple and not complex.

Enjoy 2007-2018.

I was taught to finish what I order.

Life taught me to order what I enjoy.

The art of living taught me to take my time and enjoy.
