Dark brown in color. loads of raisins and figs. Very honied, with pineapple, apricot and caramel notes. A wonderful array of complex flavors, but the acidity could be higher to give it more tension and liveliness. This would be best on it's own rather than with dessert, as I feel the structure is not there to cut through food. Still, very delicious and enjoyable.

Brown/Amber color. Intensely sweet and with a thick syrupy texture. Aromas of burnt orange, honey, and cooked apricots and prunes. It's got some acidity to cut down on the cloying factor, but in my view not enough to make this as dazzling as some of the other notes suggest.
Dreamy nose with Eszencia-like Southern sweet tea notes, minerals, and alfalfa. Refreshing, unctuous, syrupy (relatively). Papaya and apricot. Earthy alfalfa undertones. Wonderful. Paired well with lemon cheesecake. 4.5 % alcohol!
TN: Terrific wines (Loire, Germany, Austria, Alsace & Rioja) as Jeff & Dena Morris return to NYC. (Royal Seafood, NYC): Quite a wine to end a fabulous evening. It's extremely aromatic with a rush of honey, ripe apricots, pineapple and mango on the nose. It's dense and quite sweet on the palate and may in fact be to over the top for some, but I find just enough acidity to keep the wine from being too cloying, though a little more wouldn't hurt. Unctuous and extremely honeyed with similar flavors as aromas with the addition of a botrytis note. Textually, it shows a little more like how I expected the ZH to show. Delicious! Low A+.
