  I am unsure of the age but an educated guess is more than 7 years. Very pleasant, non-heavy or thick tasting, slightly sweet. Will buy again.

  Honey and plum to nose. Honey to taste. Makes sense because it's made from honey. Dessert wine, with a little alcohol to taste. Think honey, not Biffy.

  Light 24 karat gold sheen. Nose of honey and yellow plums. Initial palate of slightly bitter honey that is pleasant but nothing special. The real joy of this wine comes at the finish, where it transitions between honey and yellow plums and sweetened gooseberries and grapefruit and passion fruit. Finally, the bitter honey takes over once more and lingers quite a while.

  I had a bit of sport by serving this blind at the end of a tasting to several wine friends. I had it brown bagged, but it is a 750 wine bottle, has a foil capsule and a cork, which I made sure people saw me extracting (you can disguise that it is synthetic) as I offered to buy dinner for anybody that could identify it. One gal did identify honey, but actually said it tasted like "honey bees". Not "honey", but "honey bees", which I thought was actually rather brilliant.
  
  In fact it tastes good, with honey and over-ripe apple, hint of caramel and spice, just short on the acidity one would expect from a wine. Mine had been aging over 1.5 years, which probably does have some effect.
