  375ml bottle brought by colleague, bought from the winery a couple of weeks ago
  The wine shows warmth, overripe and marmelade versions of stone fruit, nectarine, grape jam, swwet jam notes, spice notes, thin oak frame.
  Palate with light body, airy, youthful, stone fruit, elegant, smooth, evident sugar content, vanilla scented, candied and sugar coated fruit, med body, cuts rather shor.

  No decanting
  Tasted at 5 degrees and got warmer during tasting.
  
  The nose:
  Primary apricot and honey. Thick honey layer. Orange peel, lemon.
  
  The palate:
  Much bigger then the nose - Bloodorange, apricot, papaya, emon, red Apple, pineapple, honey. Fresh, vibrant, Incredible.
  Dont get any oak, though.
  
  You've got the powerful texture of honey and sweet fruit and the lack of acidity makes the wine a medium body. Perfect in balance, at this age actually
  
  I only got this one bottle, but it would be interesting to see how it developed 20 years from vintage.
  
  I'm 92 points

  Over ripe pineapple, apricot, mango and candied orange rind with loads of sweet honey and macadamia nuts make an appearance. Delicious, sweet, fresh and honey coated, this is going to be tasty young and get even better as it ages. .
