I wanted to try this wine to get an idea of development. Wine was refrigerated for two days; on ice for two hours and then allowed to warm for 45 minutes before service. Wine was clear; golden color with no tartrate crystals. In the nose, lots of citrus fruit, honey and nuts. Plenty of botrytis. Deep fruit, good balance and not too sweet or cloying. Very nice and a long honeyed-and-tangerine finish! Is great now, but will be magnificent in 5 years or so. Long, long life ahead of it.

Golden in colour, golden in taste. Wonderful, just the right balance of sweet versus not overly sugary and cloying, it is perfectly in tune, the acidity very harmonious. Apricot and orange tart, some honey and nuts. Fine to drink now, equally keep forever. From a half (the best size for dessert wines)

Darker golden colour. Long honey taste with hints of caramel, roasted nuts, orange marmelade and some spices. Medium body, sweet, concentrated. Very good QPR.
