Not sure how how rate this. Lovely texture, good tension, slight but not distracting tropical flavors, long finish. Also rich and powerfully alcoholic - not something I typically notice all that much, but this seems a bit unbalanced at 14.5% abv.

Aroma: melon, honeysuckle, pineapple, guava, lime and cardamom. Palate: lemon, pineapple, crisp and bright mouth feel, medium acidity with a long finish. Pairs great with guacamole and chips. The crispness of the wine cuts through the creaminess of the avocado. Same profile on day 2. 89-90

Crisp and very enjoyable. Paired well with turkey dinner and also drank well on its own after dinner. Good acidity and bright flavors would seem to indicate that this wine will continue to evolve and should easily pass through the current 2018 drinking window. 2020?

I love this wine but found an older bottle buried in the Cave. Getting tired, and lost the vibrancy that makes it special. Drink up.

Excellent, full flavoured SB. Still very crisp so may go through the indicated drinking window.
