The drinking window is closing fast on this. It's losing its punch and brightness. Still a good, mild dessert wine, but it should be drunk soon to enjoy it while it's still close to its best.

375 ml. Dominant notes were peach and honeysuckle in front of a subtle wave of something reminiscent of felt marker. Not too sweet and lacking some complexity on the palate where peach once again dominated. I was told it cost under 15$ which seems like an excellent QPR for this drinking experience.

Unchanged from tasting in Oct 2011. Still drinking very, very good. Have compared this to a 2006 Kanu Kia-Ora Noble Late Harvest at nearly twice the price and this one won.
Here is my 2011 note: Amber yellow with lots of glycerin legs. Apricot, peach and honey on the nose. Taste of orange, peach and honey with slight minerality. Long finish. Lacking a bit of complexity which is why I am giving it 88 but for $11.47 for 350ml from the SAQ depot it probably deserves a bump to 90-92 factoring in value. Served quite cold from the fridge and the chilling helped restrain the sweetness, I would not serve this warm.

Sympa. Ananas confits, agrumes compotés et citronnés, matière agréable qui demeure fraîche par une belle acidité en support. Amertume un brin trop présente. Très agréable dans l'ensemble.

Still good but freshness is fading. Drink soon.
