  Drank last nite with Mexican take out in Copake. I've had this wine before and my notes are very consistent. Pretty honey-like golden color, Gobs of apricots on the nose. Lively acidity mixes nicely with the wonderfully ripe fruit (apricots, nectarines, peaches) and honey nuances. A lovely, medium to full bodied and fairly sweet wine that is somewhat on the unctuous side. Nice complexity and good length. I've always liked this wine and still do

  Medium golden color, apricots shouting out on the nose. Lively acidity mixes nicely with the wonderfully ripe fruit (apricots, nectarines, peaches) and honey nuances. A lovely, medium to full bodied and fairly sweet wine that is somewhat on the unctuous side. Nice complexity and good length. I finished it a week after opening it and it was still kicking it...

  Otis opened a bottle of this after a dinner he hosted featuring Tom and Deb Mortimer of Le Cadeau. Very florally, wth some honey and spice notes too. Good acidity balances honey and apricot flavors. A very nice bottle.

  Yummy, yummy. I love Alsatian dessert wines (although CT does not consider this particular one a dessert wine -- I do), which to me are very complex and a great value. Took from my cellar to a fine restaurant. By the end of the meal when we had this, I was not really focused on analyzing the wine. I remember the lovely nose and the rich palate, which had honey, pineapple and tropical fruits. Went great with the walnut bread pudding. I left a glass for the chef, who called me that night to ask where he could get several cases for himself. I am not making this up.
