Deep golden with a light amber hue. Orchard fruits, honey, with tropical fruits on the nose and palate. On the palate still quite sweet with just enough acid to keep the balance. 5/13/18/10. 97 points from the WA. -2040+ if cellared at textbook conditions.

Not a long note as this half bottle went very quickly and I didn't have much left over to analyze at length.Medium gold. Didn't bother to smell it. Went straight to tasting. Very rich, silky texture. Honey, red apples, peach, mango and butterscotch. A little bitter orange on the finish. Crazy good stuff. My wife and daughter, who rarely drink, asked for seconds. That's how good it was. Don't be mislead by the relatively short note. This wine is awesome!

It’s Sauternes with a hint of petrol - I’ve had 97-99 yquem in the last few weeks and the resemblance is certainly there, at least in quality. Strong notes of mint and stone on initial opening, which mellow to raw honey in time. The note of boityris is strong, the acidic drive pushes along a pure fruited effort that can contend with the great dessert wines of the world.

Beautiful golden orange color! I could have waited longer to open if I wanted but I like how it is showing right now.
