10.2% ABV 181g/L sugar 11g/L total acidity. Nice interplay between blistering acidity and intense lipton's & apple cider-cinnamon sweetness. Finishes a lot like a Tokaji with powerful mandarin syrup wiped clean by freshening acid. Excellent.

Tawny in color, this is rich, syrupy and intensely sweet, but well balanced with a nicely defined and complex mix of orange or tangerine marmalade, caramel-covered apple, candied cherry, and toasted hazelnut flavors. Medium plus acidity keeps this lively and fresh. Very nice.

golden ... deep petrol aroma ... peach nectar, honey taste ... nice finish ... similiar to the ’96, but not quite as good ... not as rounded and polished
