Clear, medium amber with hints of gold. The nose is clean, medium (+) in intensity, with aromas of dried apricot, dried pineapple, peach, honey, lemon, orange peel and star fruit. The palate is medium sweet to sweet, with medium acidity to balance out the sweetness. This is a medium (+) to full-bodied dessert wine, with fairly high alcohol (15%). Mouth-coating creamyness results in a medium (+) to long finish. Baklava in a glass, this should pair well with sharp cheeses or fruity, nutty desserts. Better when served on the colder side, this is a tremendous value for a dessert wine. Drinks well now, but should be able to age indefinitely.

Honeyed, sweet apricot, and perfume nose and flavours. Rich and full-bodied with a well-balanced, sweet finish.
3.5/5
