The night cap of a good night.... Lovely. Did not expect the color to be so dense. Its copper and coffee, beautiful. Body is lighter than you'd expect, super light somehow despite the color implying more. The nose is dense smorgasbord of things that you can't put in one swim lane... white peach, apricots, pineapples, raisins, prunes, dates. That's just the nose and the front. It blends gloriously. Middle interjects some citrus notes, orange marmalade goodness, added depth of flavor as it all builds to a monumental finish of the heavier, richer fruits soaked in oranges. It lasts forever, not cloying, just that heartwarming fondness of a good moment lasting.

Copper-gold; apricots, peaches, pineapples, oranges, vanilla, white raisins; sweet, orange marmalade, apricot, peachy, viscous, medium-full body, tangy acidity, long finish. Syrupy apricot, peach and tropical fruit with palate of marmalade, balanced acidity and long, fruity finish. Slightly cloying but less than most vidal icewines. Would have liked more complexity.
