July 9, 2020 - An Australian dessert wine ... nose of burnt sugar and palate of dates, prunes, and molasses. Beautiful.
September 9, 2015 - Found a dusty bottle of this today at my local state monopoly store. "Why not?". Had it tonight with desert at a local BYOB and found it quite enjoyable. Very sweet with tropical fruit flavors and a long, lingering finish. Wish I could grab more (I think there is life left), but I found the last bottle in Western PA. If scoring, 91-93.
January 10, 2013 - Bees wax, eucalyptus, dried plum, and a touch of lanolin on the nose. The palate is surprisingly well balanced with waxy, herbal, and fruity tones all present and integrated. The finish is nice and long with a distinct key lime note. Botrytised Semillons from Australia are probably the best value in the world of true stickies and this wine is no exception. Drink now through 2018.
April 25, 2011 - Confirming my previous notes - an absolutely delicious wine, very sweet and infinite finish. Keep or drink.
October 2, 2010 - Yet another great performance from this outstanding sweet white. Tropical fruits on the palate and licqurice on the nose with an everlasting aftertaste. Far too little wine in the bottle. Keep or drink.
February 20, 2010 - A magnificant stickie. Nose of peaches and pineapples, palate of tobacco, licqurice and citrus with an abundance of exotic fruits and sugar and a wonderful citric finish that lasts until tomorrow. Keep or drink.
December 26, 2009 - Dark golden abricot colour; sweet nose, however relatively little flavour; very sweet palate, thick abricot, lacking acidity. Very rich but lacking vivacity
October 18, 2009 - Nice golden color. The nose was ripe tropic fruits and after a few minutes, english licqurice (never had that in a stickie before). The palate was wonderfully full, sweet and complex with a varity of tropical fruits such as pineappel, overripe peaches, figs, and a very strong presence of English licqurice. The aftertast was long and lingering. An absolutely beautiful wine. One of my favourite stickies. Keep or DRINK.
