  Ripe, very ripe, and over ripe pineapples, mangos, candied oranges, apricot, flowers, honey, and marmalade create the intoxicating perfume. Perfectly perched between its decadently, sweet side, and its raciness on the other side, this is sublime. The roasted passion fruits, mangos, apricots, pineapple, roasted cashews, and saffron on the palate are all slathered with honey. This has the potential to be a future legendary sweet wine. If this is your thing, grab it as only 1,200 cases were produced. It is going to be stunning on release. But if you prefer your sweet wines with age, this will evolve for 3 or more decades. The wine blends 95% Semillon with 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2025-2055. 97-99 Pts.

  94 vvPunkte / Sehr dunkle Farbe und intensive Nase, Dörr-Aprikosen, Quitten, Nüsse, Rosienen, auch florale Aromen. Im Gaumen mit viel Süsse und einer guten Säurestruktur, opulent, sehr reichhaltig und mit einem ausgesprochen langen Finale.
