  Deep yellow / gold. Explosive botrytis nose – marmalade, apricot, fermented fruits. Some acid, could easily use more. For all its richness, its going to be a short-term wine, I think. Still, even with all that sweetness the purity of the wine carries it through, at least for the time being.

  A glowing gold colour, with a rich, almost over-botrytised nose of marmalade and apricot. I don’t feel the acid/sugar balance is quite right on this wine, with some resulting flabbiness. Despite that, it’s not too think or oily in texture, as can sometimes happen with these wines, but I don’t think it’s got an interesting aging future ahead of it either. Drink up.
