  August 26, 2018 - Kept this several years too long; the top half of the bottle was lovely, slightly "darker" flavour than I recall from past bottles, very faintly pungent but not in a bad way. The expected marmalade taste and smell. I've used the first glass as the basis for my rating. Unfortunately there was rather a lot of sediment in the bottle and the cloudier the glass, the nastier the taste. A full third of the bottle went down the drain :-(

  May 7, 2012 - Not the most complex wine, but still a good drinking. Nice orange color, somewhat shy nose and candied orange, pineapple taste. long sweet finish.

  September 2, 2011 - It is just striking how this varietal truly tastes as orange as the color. It is quite sweet and goes well with bittersweet chocolate desserts. Full-bodied and round mouth feel.
