1st half bottle from a dozen bought en primeur. Loved this in a barrel sample, gave it 97 points and bought some. 1st bottle whilst still very young has a nose like white Burgundy (despite there being no chardonnay here) with marmalade. Later joined by complex aromas of peach, vanilla, pineapple and melon. Medium weight is a little lighter than top vintages. Lovely balance apart from a slight concern about the alcohol starting to dominate. Huge length of finish. Very fine.

Very nice. Honey, creme brulee, pineapple and dried apricots. Touch of lemon acidity giving good balance. Has a nice warmth to it. Complex and sophisticated with a long finish.
Scored as this is already showing well but will improve with age. Anticipated range 92-95.

A rich Suduiaraut with candied pineapple and mango, swimming in honey. High viscosity, with notes of creme and vanilla on the back end. Really nice and luxurious feel to this sweet dessert wine. I like it here and before 7th birthday. Drink or Hold

Medium intense nose. Great thick and oily texture. White refined sugar, mango, pineapple. A little confectioned and lacking vibrancy.
