Sharon's Birthday (Kapcsandy, Rhys, Huet, Pape Clement, +++) (GHT): I would not hold these much longer. It is still good, but I think it might be at peak or slightly past. Hard to say for sure. Deep golden in color. Then nose has oranges, tangerines, and honey. Slightly sweet (just a bit more than the Huet we opened with). Slightly viscous. A bit of a bitter note. Went well with food and is outstanding. Did not improve in the glass. From a 375.

Sweet amber liquor redolent of juicy pineapple, ripe apricot, and pear, with delicate hints of mandarin. Wonderful aroma of toasted marshmallow on the nose as it opens up. Delightful.

Seems like this is past it's peak. Still pleasant, but no more 'wow' factor.

Less sweet than many dessert wines, but it's one of the reasons I like this so much. Nice citrus and passion fruit components. Very good.
