  As the wine coats the mouth, it comes into lush focus with brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, cooked banana and more butterscotch.

  Still a little put off by the sulfuric-eggy-cruciferous veggie note I get in the bouquet, but fortunately, I don't find it on the palate. Seems to have formed a little grassy note instead, to go along with all the tropical fruits and honeycomb flavors. Medium-high sweetness and proper acidity should keep it going for several more years and it will get more interesting and complex, though I doubt that the balance will ever evolve into the beauty of a genuine Moelleux or Sauternes . 4+10+17+8= 89

  One of the top dessert wines we've ever had & a no-brainer for the tariff, just perfectly balanced in every way. Want. More.

  Notes after following for about a week open. Light gold color, clear and sound with no sediment or particulate matter. Very tropical with mango, apricot, honey, and a distracting hint of egg salad. The palate is very enjoyable with ripe stone fruits and lively acidity. Just on the verge of developing deeper complexities and nuance. 4+10+18+8= 90

  Been awhile since we had one of these so figured it was time to pull it out again. This is just bundles of tropical fruit now - pineapple, passionfruit, papaya, mango. Nicely balanced with the acidity and overall just a very tasty end of night treat. Unfortunate that we're down to our last one. Would have liked to see this offered on Full Pull again.
