A ‘surprise’ find in the cellar. I left this too long, as it was still drinkable, but quite faded. Copper in colour, just off dry now, lots of botrytis still, a hint of creaminess, and still in balance. The intensity had diminished considerably, however. Drink up ASAP (B/B+).

Didn't take notes, but this was a very interesting and different sweet wine. This is getting on in years, and the copper/brown colour reflected that, but it was still a vibrant, fascinating wine that balanced its sweet fruit and acidity well. This was from a 375 bottle, and I have a 750 of this left, and will get to it fairly soon (A-).

Floral nose; white peach, pineapple, acidity, honey on palate, overall light and refreshing despite its syrupy density.
