  Under cork from a half bottle. Rich, orangey gold in colour. Dried apricot, candied pineapple, barley sugar, dried honey, spice and a touch of lanolin on the nose. Thick and unctuous palate, very sweet, high acid, spicy long finish. Palate follows the nose. Lots of candied and dried stone and tropical fruits, mostly apricot, pineapple and ginger, barley sugar, botrytis spice, and caramel. Lovely, long finish that coats the mouth and leaves a fruity, sweet and spicy replay on the palate. Beautiful! This still has a ling life ahead of it. Easy 95 points!

  Pure crystal gold colour. Spicy, pineapple, apricot, caramel and barley sugar nose. Rich full palate. Sweet layers of barley sugar, candied bitter apricot, spice and oak. Cleansing acidity sears the tongue at the end. Long bittersweet finish. A slight bit of a metallic tang is kind of off putting, but overall it is pretty good.
