  This certainly didn’t have the level of sweetness I expected. Drank closer to a slightly off-dry Riesling. Going to try again tomorrow and see if anything changes/develops. Still quite a treat and a wine that is full of stone and tropical fruit. Very good overall.

  Off dry. The funk is killing all the fruit and sweetness. A disappointment

  Immediately struck by the botrytis notes here, a very different nose. Honeyed and savoury complexity; very strong streak of funky botrytis here. Lovely wine.

  Bright yellow with a slightly golden hue. Nose is somewhat developed, with notes of apricots and other tropical fruits, honey and a touch of wet wool. Mouthfeel is somewhat developed, semi-dry, with notes of tropical fruits such as apricots, honey and citrus. Drinks well now, but will probably express more of itself with some more time.

  Fine structure. Grapefruit and oolong tea. Wet slate with long, rich mineral driven finish. Zippy acidity. This will last a long time and reward patience.
