Tasting note

Twenty years have melted Obaideh and Merwah into quince and walnut — an amber-tinged white that behaves like old sherry with better manners. The circle swooned harder than I did; I admired the character but missed one last flicker of freshness.

Flight 3. Indigenous grape varieties Obaideh & Merwah from Bekaa-Tal; legendary aging potential. Top white of the evening.

Tasted at «Off the Beaten Track», an LCV Suisse evening on 12 January 2024. The circle's average: 18.17/20 — my score: 17.5/20.
