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.

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.

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.

An Australian dessert wine ... nose of burnt sugar and palate of dates, prunes, and molasses. Beautiful.

Confirming my previous notes - an absolutely delicious wine, very sweet and infinite finish. Keep or drink.
