I think this is my third time with this wine and it continues to show quite well. Good energy on the entry with vg length and the rs in a place that lets one focus on the story the wine has to tell vs just a sugar blast to the palate. Color and fill vg, fwiw. Some years ahead, but no reason to wait. Delicious. 11,9% abv. Easily recommended

Wonderful sticky that really zings. Really loved this with a pear-frangipane tart. So much acidity and verve, with lemon confit, apricots and a bit of toasted almond.

Perfect cork, with a few tartrate crystals built up in the neck. Honey golden In color. Lovely rich texture, crazy acidity and medium sweetness. Lemon marmalade, spiced dried fruit, and honeycomb. Mellow finish that caresses the palate like a warm blanket on a cold fall day. Not the most complex dessert wine but very enjoyable and moreish. Don’t think it’s going to improve but not declining any time soon.

Excellent foil for key lime pie, the sugar and acidity match perfectly.
