  December 7, 2014 - NobleRottersSydney - Christmas Lunch 2014 (Greg's place): {cork, 13.5%} Better (fresher) than last year’s bottle ; dense and thick with spiced gewurz flavours; ripe but not really presenting as overtly sweet; needs a big hefty dish to go with it probably. Drink up.

  November 1, 2013 - {cork, 13.5%} Deep yellow/gold. Aged nose of caramel & honey; the varietal characteristics are somewhat subdued with age. The palate is fairly luscious although barely off-dry; it has a burnished copper-like quality to it somehow; it remains medium/full-bodied, but has the structural acid to hold it up. Decently long finish too, although there's not a huge deal of complexity; but it's sailing along pretty well for 15 years. Drink soon.

  June 23, 2012 - Deep yellow colour. Pronounced varietal character in the nose with perfume, roses, spice, some exotic fruit and honey. Sweetish and slightly developed impression. Off-dry, quite spicy, slightly oily, with ripe yellow fruit and exotic fruit, some honey, quite intense aromas, just a bit of alcoholic bite, and a long, spicy aftertaste. Has developed quite well for its age (75 cl bottle). Residual sugar 35 g/l according to the producer.

  July 13, 2010 - Overt, voluptuous and sexy. Aromas of Turkish delight and tropical fruits. Fat and rich in the mouth with a touch of residual sugar and plenty of depth and presence, one glass is enough.
