  March 13, 2014 - Really surprisingly good! Much better than last time we drank this, about 2 years ago and rather a pity we've run out.. Nice touch of acidity now to balance a rounded sweetness which went very well with some cheddar.

  September 12, 2012 - Golden yellow color. Fresh and bright, floral nose with aromas of apricot, raisin, orange peel, raisin and mead. Sweet palate follows the nose with honeyed lemon flavors of mead, floral spice, raisin and overripe apricot. Rich, broad and textural full body; the acidity is rather modest, making the wine appear a bit heavy and lacking in intensity and freshness. A tad short finish with flavors of overripe stone fruits, floral spice, sweet honey and candied orange peel.
  
  A decent little drop, although a bit unsusrprising and pedestrian as a dessert wine, made from rather unorthodox grape varieties. A typical new world late harcest dessert wine that does its job with a steady hand and offers no big surprises. Does not challenge European counterparts, but is good value at 12,98€ for a 37,5 cl bottle.

  June 27, 2012 - Muted nose. Floral honey and luscious on palate but no complexity and a bit unremarkable.

  June 8, 2012 - With radiating golden yellow colour, this wine shows nose of honey and apricot with hints of crisp citrus fruit. On the palate, intensified honey note is well balanced by a refreshing lemon and pineapple note. A full-bodied sweet wine strikes a good balance of acidity, followed by a long beautiful finish.
