Philippe Delesvaux | Anjou Authentique 2005

PV Tasting Notes

The 2005 Authentique is a superb wine, has a wonderful richness to its broad, exotic and off dry flavours of peach, ginger, grapefruit zest, chamomile and marzipan notes running through the stony mineral underpinning, highly polished, with a very discreet sweetness to the buttery fruit finish. Drink now through to about 2016. Tasted May 2007.
