Gentle sweetness, was expecting much more residual sugar from this TBA. But that's not a bad thing. This wine was a bit lighter on its feet, with a firm, lifting acidity. Orange peel, apricot, and honey flavors abound, and the wine is very clean and fresh, unlike the bottle I had last year. Very nice.

I'm going to call this a flawed bottle, as it showed a little bit of oxidation and surprisingly little sweetness given the very powerful acidity. Think it might have gotten a little cooked somewhere along the way. Still an ok drink if you don't mind more of a Vin Santo kind of thing.

Rancio, nuts, varnish, is this vin santo? Peculiar wine, seems like a very light TBA that hasn't evolved very well.

Woody nose with some paint and maple. Curiously, smells and tastes a lot more like Vin Santo than TBA. Zippy finish though.
