Deep honey in color, heady notes of spicy vanilla, apricots, lychee, honey, and honey suckle. Full bodied with a racy acid note making the wine very drinkable. Fleshy stone fruit, notably over-ripe apricots, on the palette, with white nectarines, crisp apples, tangerine oil and lemon zest to brace your tongue, balancing out this wine.
While the wine should be drunk now, I feel like the wine was a great pleasure to drink now, I really enjoyed this wine.

Golden colour. Incredibly pretty nose--like riesling in its honeyed character, but much more besides. Full-bodied and rather lagubrious on the palate. Definitely friendly and ready to go. The next night it seemed to have lost a little fruit and apparent sweetness, so my guess is that this is at its peak.

Bordeaux, Aged Cali Cabs and Burgundy with the Benchmark Wine Group in Port Chester (Il Sogno, Port Chester, NY): Loved this wine! Very expressive and showing vivid fruit flavors of kiwi, star fruit and apricot. After having this and the le meal at another dinner I'm hooked on white Rhones with some age.

See previous from 6 months ago--just possibly starting to dry out a little. Blowsy but enjoyable.
