Dark color, nearly tawny. Oxidative nose. The palate was better with bright acidity, slightly sweet honey and citrus notes. Drank best the first 30 minutes. Bought on release and stored well. Not scored.

Some signs of infiltration in the cork; the nose is closed at first with some mold tones, but the wines appears to be fine. Deep gold color with some darker accents; off-dry, it's almost moving towards the semi-sweet, but it still has some nice acidity. Nice wine, very enjoyable.

Really like this. Not too sweet with lots of acidity and buttery mouthfeel. Not as good with grilled salmon as I thought it would be, but great with kale coleslaw. Might try pairing with spicy dish next time. No hurry to consume.

Color: dark gold with viscous legs Nose: medium-full intensity. Complex tropical fruit Body/flavor: full body. Complex rich flavors of tropical fruits; the sweetness is well-balanced with good acid structure Aftertaste: lingering
Delicious bottle of wine!

Deep gold to orange. Med++ bruised apple, ripe pear, candied orange, peach, honeysuckle, honey, saffron & wet stone. A whiff of VA, a nutty, leesy, Sherry-like oxidative note and exotic spices like saffron and ginger typically associated with botrytis. No perceptible new oak. Med sweet, w/ high acidity, med alcohol (12.5%) and an oily, chewy texture. Med+ body, med++ intensity & a long finish. A bitter lemon/lime finish provides a nice balance to the RS. Pairs well with anything rich, salty and savory.
