  Greatly enjoyed this. Wanted something from Italy much closer to Sauternes. This delivered and had the nice richness, thicker texture with delicious condensed fruits like dried apricots. For the price especially exceptional wine
  
  Blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Traminer, Sémillon and Riesling

  Intense golden colour. Aroma of apricot, slight smokiness which fed through onto the palate with an aftertaste of orange marmalade. A big, heavy wine, more like a Tokaji than a Sauternes. One for sipping.

  Hints of oxidation, botrytis, loads of honey, some confit orange; very fine. #BethuneSt#DinnerParty

  A week in Tuscany (and Lots of wines); 10/19/2015-10/21/2015 (Tuscany, Italy): This is a dessert wine from Umbria. Golden in color with some slight green specks. A really lovely nose of honey and apricots. On the palate, this is sweet but not overtly. Nice slightly viscous texture, but not as thick as I might have thought it would be. Honey and apricots to match on the palate. Enough acidity to work well with cheeses. A nice dessert wine.
