  Very dark colour, almost rose with hints of caramel. Ample but bright, with caramel sweetness offset by round orange-flesh acidity and a pleasingly bitter almond skin finish. Still has a lot going on, despite the obvious signs of age.

  Pausing for the Cause (S.K.Y. Restaurant - Chicago IL): Plenty of dried apricot and childish sweetness, with good density, but lacking in the complexity of another (better) bottle from last year.

  Pausing for the Cause 2018 (Chicago, IL): Quite nice for an older ZH. Clearly a wine that is of dessert level, with a generous amount of botrytis spice and sweet apricots and peaches. Well-balanced and not over the top at all.

  Chicago Wine Flock...Gary Goes Italian (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. Clearly Alsatian, although I thought this a rich, slightly younger Deiss field blend. Slightly tropical with some dried apricot. Very good concentration. somehow seemed like a dessert wine fighting its way to be less sweet. Wonderful now, but I look forward to trying this again in another decade+.

  Yeah, faantastic. Honey golden brown in color. Beautiful nose with honey, caramel and nuts. On the palate, amazing honeyed texture. Great peppery, slightly spicy sweetness, followed by great acidity. Nice sticky sweetness...
  
  Been open for a four days now (in the fridge in the intervening time), and shows no signs of budging. The color really gives away the nose with a nutty honey character, but the really intriguing thing about this is spice on the mid and finish: like peppercorns confit in a simple syrup, and then ground to a fine powder.
