  Powerful, dense and rich, with a hint of citrus but slightly cloying. May improve with time

  Amazing for a hot year; this has the weight and ripeness you'd expect from a warm vintage, but for all its sapidity it is so, so fresh. I love the clover honey notes this shows alongside a complex citrus and baked good nose - what a delight. Really a star and one to taste again in a smaller setting.

  中金黄色，闻香有明显的橙花和橘皮，还有些许焦糖味，入口酸度中高，茉莉花，焦糖，橙花的香气，口感很新鲜，没有苏玳传统的那种浓郁和厚重感，是我喝过的第一款不上头的苏玳。口感非常纯净，鲜美平衡，这只是它初出茅庐的表现，就令人眼前一亮，陈年后不可限量。一款滴金把今晚的气氛推向了最高点。

  Ultra sweet at this early stage, but not off-putting for all that. The nose is more floral than I'd expect. The palate brings waves of different fruit -- mostly fruit punch -- followed by lingering buttered popcorn on the back end. The finish is key: it lasts for a couple minutes, and I'm not sure it ever really fades. It'll be interesting to see where this goes in, say, 10 years and then 15. Judging by the clingy fruit and the muted acidity, I think it's a wine to be enjoyed in its youth, and it may not necessarily gain much charm. Or maybe I'm just making excuses to drink more now.

  Orange peel, slight rubber, dry spices. Fat texture. Always a lovely wine.
