Deep golden color in glass belies the young age of the wine. The bouquet is intense, complex and lovely, displaying powerful botryis, honesuckle, white flowers and candied lemon. The palate is sweet and syrupy, with mouthcoating rich honey, apricot and a touch of tangerine. Acidity is still relatively high, and the finish is long. On par with an excellent Sauternes or ice wine. Very impressive.

First botresized wine my wife and I have ever had. Really excellent. Viscous, almost like honey. Flavors of honey with a hint of citrus. Enough acidity to cut the sweetness. Like this so much, will have to save up for a d'Yqem.

Drinking well, but still young with lots of life left ahead of it.

Great dessert wine. Peaches and honey on the palate.
