  Hong Kong Travels; 1/9/2006-1/19/2006 (Around HK): Gold not yellow, but still relatively bright for a botrytised sweetie. And, with the first whiff, it does prove to have a very nice dose of botrytis. Under that bracing initial zing is pretty rich peach/apricot fruit and some creamy orange. This wine doesn’t have tremendous size or complexity, as the palate pretty much follows the nose, but it does have good concentrated fruit, a nice creamy texture, and that great botrytis-honey prickle on the finish. This could easily be mistaken for a good second-tier Barsac. Don’t know how it will age, but I’ll buy some to sock away (and more to drink now) if I see it at retail. 2001 vintage in the region does seem to be the rising tide that lifts all ships.
