1997 De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon (750ml)

Noble One has built up an enviable reputation as one of Australia's great wines, and often a very serious contender to the First Growths of Sauternes.Brilliant brassy gold colour. Excellent lifted citrus, honey nose with an apricot background and just a hint of toffee. On the palate the honey citrus flavours are dominant, however, in the 1997 wine there is an absence of decadent lusciousness which has become one of the distinguishing features of this wine. There is still loads of flavour, good depth and persistence. Clean crisp acid finish, followed by honey and citrus aftertaste. Cellar 3-4 years.
