December 6, 2023 - This seems to be getting better and better. I’m half way through my case of 12 bottles. Delicious marmalade and apricot flavours, nicely sweet with good acidity. Everybody around the table was impressed and had a refill

November 25, 2022 - Great balance between acidity and sweetness, not varnish, just caramel, marmalade and orange compote.

June 6, 2022 - After 20+ years, yellow-gold, botrytis in the bouquet, a whiff of wax and cinnamon (also in the taste), friendly citrus behind, not overly sweet and good bitters in the finish and everyting in balance...but it did not blow me away, and that is what you wish wit a '01.

July 17, 2021 - Dinner at Mastro's BH. Amber/brown color. Lovely scents of honey, apricot. Rich and lush with good acidity. Long finish. Many years left. People who don't like sweet wine were enamored.

May 30, 2021 - Sweet nose of primarily Apricot, banana, marmalade, light floral backdrop.
Golden, rich-honeyed drops with a delicious green apples acid palate. Nicely crafted.1 person found this helpful Comment
