I love a good sweet wine. This was a good one. The aromas were mouth watering with nice complexity, starting to show petrol notes, honey, sweetness...nice. Palate was wonderful with lots of sweetness, good complexity and perfect acidity to clean it all up at the finish and extend the finish for a good long time. Wonderful wine and an enthusiastic would buy again wine.

(Long Shadows Poet’s Leap Botrytis Riesling Columbia Valley) The nose is marked by sugared grapefruit, honey, and a touch of pineapple. An outrageously rich and opulent taste that is sweet but not overly so. 15% alcohol. 11% residual sugar.
(Long Shadows Poet’s Leap Late Harvest Botrytis Riesling Columbia Valley) White grapefruit covered with sugar marks a stunning wine that succeeds at being sweet without being cloying or over the top. This is a beautiful, refreshing dessert wine. 11% alcohol. 15% residual sugar. 56 cases produced.

Nose starts with petrol, and honey
Palate is lovely with honeyed elements and nice acidity.
My last review was spot on.
Would buy again.

Drank at Henry's wine tasting last weekend. This is a bit like a sauternes, perhaps a bit more acidic and light-weight. Very nice!
