THE RARELY SEEN FIRST VINTAGE OF NOBLE ONE
Lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's (Octavian)
De Bortoli Sauternes, Australian Botrytis Semillon--Vintage 1982
Impeccable appearance. American back labels. Five original tissues. Levels: into neck
In original carton
This wine has been called Noble One since 1990, and the 1982 vintage won 10 trophies and 45 gold medals between 1982 and 1988
Tasting note: medium to full yellow-orange; now fully aged, but retaining amazing complexity and richness with apricot, peach and marmalade aromas. The palate is rich and full, still filling the mouth with tropical/apricot flavours, soft and fleshy. The oak and acid are both well balanced and integrated--James Halliday, Classic Wines of Australia, 2nd Edition
