Outstanding, enticing aromas of pineapples, canned peaches, passion fruit, and other tropical notes.
The light-medium-bodied palate is fun on the palate. It immediately sings with pineapples, candied orange rind, clover honey, and passion fruit. A hazelnut undertone carries through, accompanied by an earthy funk (the botrytis).
Long finish, still with the hazelnut, with a racy, refreshing acidity.
In a word, delectable. The structure is well-established with the acidity balancing the long list of aromas and flavors. The botrytis comes through.
I paired it with mini-toast crisps and a hunk of stilton cheese with apricot jam. This was a 375mL bottle.
