This was very nice complex style of white. Although semi dry it was going towards the style of straw wine in a nose and also the complexity was present in the taste. Most likely the grapes had botritis cinerea. The bottle was a present from my mother from 2008 Christmas. I remember drinking it then and it got much more complex now 1 year after. It has quite high body and although the alcohol is not stated I would guess between 13.5%, which is fully supported by very high extract so it does not stand out.
