    March 15, 2010 - Deep gold in color. This wine offers aromas of honey, orange peel, and raisins. On the palate you will experience a sweet, mouth coating rich texture with the essence of orange, banana, and pears, followed by a huge lingering toasted oak finish that lasts nearly 1 minute.

    April 9, 2008 - Rich golden color, like a great apple juice. Honeyed pear and pineapple on the nose. Almost feel like im smelling the outside of a pineapple that is a little too old. SUPER SWEET with some creaminess too. One sip was enough. Never finished the bottle. Too sweet for me, but MIGHT mellow and improve with a few more years in the bottle.

    October 11, 2005 - One of the best packaged stickies currently on the market. Medium gold, leaving a viscouos coating on the glass. Ripe clean nose, good lift, smells amazingly clean and pure. Text book mango and apricot on the nose – impressive. Repeats faithfully in the mouth but the palate weight is stepped up a notch; a genuine mouth coater. Sometimes I find these styles get a fraction hard in the back palate but this retains power and a good dose of finesse all the way through. Very good.
