  Immensely impressive. Completely amber, the color of whisky. Heady, sweet aromas of burnt sugar and golden raisins steeped in wine. Honeyed on the palate yet with an unfaded acidic edge that keeps everything incredibly lively. Might look fatigued but it's anything but. A special Mother's Day treat.

  How is it possible to not get to this bottle? Amazing champagne, Merlot both old and new world and Weinbach from 1995 plus an amazing old school Amarone. Gifted to my pals from Dallas that love the Pinot Gris SGN as much as I love the stuff. Clos Jebsal sits atop a very high mountain of excellent dessert wines. Tokaji Essencia is always trying to de thrown the stuff but so are German TBA Riesling. The king knows how to kick others off even though they are almost perfect as well.

  "Welcome Back, Runny" Dinner (St. George Restaurant, Hullett House, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong): Deep copper gold or burnt caramel colour. Nose is wow!....super-ripe lychees, smoke and burnt crème caramel. Palate is initially disarmingly and unexpectedly light with sharp, very sharp attack of burned crème caramel skin then quickly dropping into depths of burnt Seville thick-cut orange marmalade and the weight of a Panzer assault…..help!....I’m being overrun by remorseless extreme sugar and intensely concentrated Seville orange. Too sweet for my style but very good. 91-92.

  Dark golden color with a nose of ginger, apricots, white flowers, and botrytis. Palate was full and dense with a nice vein of acid and minerals towards the finish that produced an effortless balance. Thought this showed very well.

  Drank from 375ml. Probably the best botrytized wine I have had in the past 2-3 years. Fantastic rusty orange color, huge spicy nose of marmalade and toffee which I found to be almost mesmerizing. It took me at least 15 minutes before I took my first taste as the nose was just out of this world. I was hoping that I wasn't tricked by the aroma and I wasn't.....it tasted exactly like it's scent, sweet but with an excellent acidic cut which made the rich spicy toffee flavor even more enjoyable and drinkable. Outstanding finish that let you contemplate the wine for a long time before the next sip. I'm not sure this is going to ever be better than it is drinking now, not that it can't hold on for years, but why wait?! Purchased from Premier Cru a few years ago at a ridiculous price, should have bought many more.
