Nose: Lots of interesting botrytis/glue-like aromas w/ peach and apricots. Palate: Big apricot flavors w/ traces of peach. Incredibly rich and lush but has the requisite acids to counterbalance everything. So much botrytis in this last and final half bottle of mine. It also showed the best of the three bottles. Just fabulous stuff!!

Nose: Aromas of roasted nuts and lemon hints. Palate: Flavors of toasted creme brulee, apricot, and lemon hints on the finish which is quite lengthy. Much more mature than last bottle (notes on 11/22/09). This has aged well but I should have opened this bottle and my pending last one a few years back. Still drinks well but I prefer its more youthful interpretation. Went well with spicy chicken stir fry.

Deep gold in colour with amber highlights. Lovely nose featuring quince marmelade running alongside orange zest. Dense and concentrated yet sappy and not overly sweet.

10 Years Tasting (The same wines 10 years ago and now) (Martins House): Honey, apricot, mirabels, quince, beautifully sweet, creamy velvety and opulent. Great!
