October 10, 2014 - Dessert wine; Great with crème brûlée!
August 23, 2013 - Coravin. No decant. Excellent QPR and really nice wine. In many ways reminded me of an older German Riesling. Certainly sweet with lots of apricot and peach. Mild hints of effervescent style. Glad I have a couple more bottles and no rush to open them. Some depth and complexity, but not a lot. Could gain nuance with time.
January 28, 2012 - WOW! I am learning that sweet is not bad if it's done right. This wine was honey golden in color. It tasted like peaches and honey with some tart apricot to balance the sweet with some nice acidity. Excellent desert wine. I am having trouble thinking of a food pairing for it but liked it quite a bit by itself.
December 27, 2011 - Consumed at room temperature. This was enjoyable, full-bodied with notes of honeyed peaches and golden raisins. A background note of something like baking spices caused someone to ask me if gewurztraminer was involved. Tasty, but relatively simple and a little on the sweet side at the moment.
June 4, 2011 - Good, but almost too sweet. Needs to be paired with something to be fully enjoyed.
November 7, 2010 - Well balanced dessert wine - sweet, but not cloyingly so, and beautifully balanced by the acidity and the apricot, peach, honey notes.
October 6, 2010 - A very faint hint of TCA upon opening but it blew off as the wine opened up so I assume it was not flawed. Light golden color. Loads of apricots, honey, golden raisins and tropical fruits on the nose and palate. Definitely on the sweet side of dessert wine but enough vibrant acid to keep the wine from being cloying on the palate. Long, sweet finish. Very nice dessert wine to just sip on its own but not a great QPR.
