Dark gold. Nose of burnt sugar and ripe apricots. Tons of caramelly sugar, apricot, caramelised pineapple. Fair acidity but not quite balancing the richness. Clear botrytis flavours. Decent length bit not everlasting. Pleasant but just a bit crude I'm afraid.

Lacks the complexityand heft of a barsac or sauternes, but it's really quite lovely. Apricots, blood orange, elderflower, quince, and asian pears combine with vanilla and toasty oak. Long finish.

Very strange nose, almost like rotting fruit or perhaps burned (not smoky) things. Someone mentioned it was like a Sri Lankan fruit. It was an intense nose, but with an aroma that I did not like at all. Palate is better but comes across as cloying. Not my style.

Orange in color with peach and apricot aromas with coating mouthfeel of peach and honey. Acid balances the long finish.

Apricots and orange zest. Quite balanced, good sugar content, long finish. Not too complex, but quite nice.
