  Looking at the colour, I thought it was gone. It's the colour of whisky and the taste is actually reminiscent of a 12 year old whisky with less alcohol and more sugar.
  Still going strong and improved by the 3rd night. Has the complexity of a vintage port - perhaps the white grape version of it.
  Nose of caramelised figs, buttery toffee and vanilla essence. Mouth of marmalade, Castlemaine rock, peanut brittle and plum pudding. Excellent acid on the long finish of orange blossom and orange peel.

  Had with the latest delivery of girl scout cookins - tagalogs. This wine was fairly good but a little too sweet and the after taste was just a little too strong on the alchohol. That said the wine has a lovely color and nose and beutiful legs on the glass, unfortunately it comes up just slight shy on the tastebuds; the texture is lovely and smooth as well. Lots of swwet citrus and it was fairly priced, but I've becomce spoiled by drinking too many French desert wines that are significantly more complex and enjoyable - though they ar three to four times the price of this one so I'm not complaining. I got what I paid for and it wasn't at all bad.
