There is always a real bouquet of developed botrytis and a sense of 'torched' crème brûlée, dried apricots and 'raisins de Corinthe' together with orange zests and beautiful acidity. I have also noted smokiness and hazelnuts. My most recent tasting showed tea, oranges, clementines and allspice and was absolutely fascinating.
