Honest Bob's note is dead-on. (The toffee note we'd all caught and discussed; the lychee note seems absolutely right, but only after we read it after the fact.) It's missing spine, filigree, acidity, nerve -- but as an after-dinner, after-lemon-cake drink, it was delicious.

Peter Jakob Kühn, Rheingau (Macis restaurant, Leipzig): Toffee caramel fudge scent; strong lychee character on entry, very sweet for an Auslese, appealingly oily glycerine-like texture. 9,5% alc. OK value at 17,90€/37,5cl. 87P
