Came across this village wine well hidden in the cellar, thought it might
be dead, but otherwise might be a decent match with mackerel and white
asparagus with sorrel hollandaise. It was amazingly far from dead.

In the glass a deep gold, with a nose of vanilla cream and figs. Well
balanced acidity but still quite fleshy, overtones of citrus, custard,
green figs and nuts. Really quite lovely without aspiring to top level
complexity, and a real surprise.

I love it when I find those long forgotten wines in my cellar and get
a nice surprise.
