1998 Telmo Rodriguez Molino Real
Posted: 22:07 Sat 11 Apr 2015
Made of 100% Moscatel in the Spanish region of Málaga. Bottled after 20 months in French oak barrel:
The first glas:
brown colour, smells of caramel and quince (the nose somehow reminds me of a 5-year-old Madeira), medium body, not that sweet, in the mouth caramel and quince, it's also a littly bit oily, in the aftertaste there is an explosion of flavour (caramel) which lasts for more than a minute.
The last glas (after the bottle had been open for two hours):
the body is really full now, the oily character is gone now. I think I should decant this wine the next time, for an hour at least.
A really good dessert wine, but I'm not sure yet if it's my cup of tea.
