Colheitas Pereira D’Oliveiras Verdelho Medium Dry (bottled 2016, 12yo) 2004

Faded tropicals, sweet old persimmon with its citric edge, rancio and complex wood-oxidative characters. This is a great wine slowly lengthening sweetness is guided by typical sweet-fresh acidity. The palate has a subtle line, is gently plush, full of persimmons' perfumed sweetness, velvet-textured, golden and round with tart fruit skin and jagged citric acidity giving penetrating run.
