Deep gold color. Aromas show deep, enticing elements of dried mango, orange marmalade, honeycomb, ginger, nougat. Plump texture, waxy, honeyed notes, rich and chunky, but some moderate acidity helps keep it from being too dense and tropical. It is straight delish though with tons of nuanced fruit, with candied ginger and lemon peels, citonella candles. Deep texture with an oily feel, but it still shows some balance and nerve. Glad I drank this when I did, as I'm not sure it has the acidity to age much longer, but it was a treat.

LIght yellow color, needs airtime to develop tropical melon and citrus nose, concentrated fruit with spice and perfect acidity. Long lingering finish. A nicely maturing GV. Nothing like the inexpensive young GV often found at many wine shops.

Ripe and powerful yellow fruit aromas. Large scaled, soft, opulent and generous. Impressive, but not the most elegant.

Very good mature GV !!!! Long and big in the mouth. Maybe lacks a bit structure. Like it
