Slightly dishclothy. A bit simple and syrupy, not sophisticated, sticky. (JR)

Medium gold colored, De Bortoli’s 2008 Noble One gives a youthfully mute, moderately intense nose of orange blossom, clover honey, jasmine, apricot preserves and dried pineapple chunks. The palate is incredibly concentrated and sweet (231 grams per liter of residual sugar) with layers of tropical fruit and honeyed flavors well refreshed by very crisp acid and going into a very long finish. Delicious now, it will reward cellaring over the next 2-10 years and drink to 2022+. Importer: De Bortoli Wines USA Inc, Tel: + 1 201 714 9700; www.debortoli.com.au.
