  Golden apricot colored. Smells of apricot sauce, honeycomb, clovers, white peach, guava nectar. Crisp acid cuts through the intense richness on the palate, and this is actually quite a clean and fresh wine. Flavors of lime, white peach and guava, mixed with honeycomb, clovers, candied lemon and orange peel. Some underlying minerals, oceanic and slate elements. Sure it’s rich and unctuous, but I’m really surprised by the crisp acid here, which makes this capable of pairing with more than just sweet desserts. I’m a huge fan of the salinity and airy quality to this wine, which lingers long with those richer honeycomb flavors on the finish. Seems to have serious stuffing for age, but gorgeous now.

  Nose of exotic fruit. Full bodied on the palate. Sweetness is very well balanced with acitity. Still in perfect shape, no aging noticeable.

  From a half-bottle. The wine was intense yellow-golden in colour. It showed first signs of bottle age on the nose, with dried apricot, pineapple, lemon, some petrol and hints of beeswax and honey. On the palate the wine offered intense apricot and lime flavours, pineapple, beeswax, cane sugar, honey, a hint of tea and even a touch of spiciness, with a medium-rich mouthfeel and good length, all built around a core of ultra high acidity easily balancing the sweetness of the wine. The wine has great aging potential. Would buy again.

  Nice nose of exotic fruit (ananas), good balance between sweetness and a good acidity

  Orange creme, white flowers, honey and wax, nice concentration, if a bit fat. Could use some time to relax.
