“The palate is quite creamy, with nice weight. It has a dry, fairly long finish, with good balance.”

TASTING NOTE
An expressive nose displays ample amounts of bright pineapple, lemon curd and citrus notes with hints of chamomile. A well-balanced palate provides savoury, rich notes of brioche, toasted almonds and roasted chestnuts complimented by lively acidity. Dilemma’s interplay of richness and liveliness provides the structure for a long and intriguing finish.
