  A far better showing that my last bottle. Don't think there is variability, just the night itself. Well balanced and rich, decent acid and bits of toasted almond. Loads of peach, lychee, overripe/cooked apple.

  This bottle is 375ML.
  
  The grapes were picked frozen on the vine and then pressed while frozen to extract a minute amount of nectar that is concentrated in flavors and sugar.
  
  Lusciously sweet with over 250 grams of sugar, with aromas and flavors of fresh apricot, dried apricot, dried mango, baked apples, lemon pie, lychee, anise, and some fresh mint.
  
  Nice sipper, but recommended with desert (anything but chocolate).
  
  Key tip, if you’re drinking a desert wine, make sure that the wine is sweeter than your desert, it will bring out the fresh fruit flavors from your wine!
  
  91-92

  Insane. Off the hook. Nice gold color. Beyond explosive bouquet of lychees, smoke, spice. Like a Gewurz on steroids. On the palate, sweet, rich, viscous , super concentrated with great acidity to keep the sweetness in check. Flavors of lychee, honey, smoke, tropical flavors, Long fruit filled acidic finish. Gorgeous now it its youth, it has the bility to age a long time (this note if from tasting tonight a bottle that had a ounce or two left and the bottle had been open for months). Incredible QPR. A home run. A must have
