This opened bottle was forgotten in the back of my fridge for at least a month. Surprise, surprise, surprise! Still plenty of flavor and enjoyment present. Very dark, looks like maple syrup. Nose of spicy, plasticy botrytis spice, fig, burnt toffee; acidic body with flavors of plastic, exotic tropical fruit, and peach marmalade. Wraps up with a long clingy finish. Wish I remembered when this was opened.

A very nice dessert wine....complex marmalade, dried fig and a touch of smoky/caramel flavors. Enough acidity to balance the moderate sweetness and drinking well now....I have 2 more bottles that I'll probably drink sooner rather than later because this is very tasty, and although it will hold for a little while, it probably won't get any better. A strong showing...

Burnt toffee and fig nose. Apricot, fig, and a light syrup upfront, moderate acidity for the sweetness, medium weight for the style. Moderate length (apricots) V pleasant. 11.5%

very nice. I prefer this to the more usual 'stickies' from Australia.
