Coravin. No decant. Excellent QPR and really nice wine. In many ways reminded me of an older German Riesling. Certainly sweet with lots of apricot and peach. Mild hints of effervescent style. Glad I have a couple more bottles and no rush to open them. Some depth and complexity, but not a lot. Could gain nuance with time.

WOW! I am learning that sweet is not bad if it's done right. This wine was honey golden in color. It tasted like peaches and honey with some tart apricot to balance the sweet with some nice acidity. Excellent desert wine. I am having trouble thinking of a food pairing for it but liked it quite a bit by itself.

Consumed at room temperature. This was enjoyable, full-bodied with notes of honeyed peaches and golden raisins. A background note of something like baking spices caused someone to ask me if gewurztraminer was involved. Tasty, but relatively simple and a little on the sweet side at the moment.

Good, but almost too sweet. Needs to be paired with something to be fully enjoyed.
