Good complexity. Sweet, but not overpowering. The acid gives it a backbone and the oak nuances make it a very pleasing wine on the palate. Good finish for a late harvest wine.

This is just a few steps away from being syrup, sweet but not to the point to make your teeth hurt or to the extreme of eating raw sugar. It reminds me of sucking on a honey comb without the mess and yet not as thick. I enjoyed the flavor, the mouth feel was that was smooth and sweet, like a dessert wine would be, a hint of vanilla, but a very honey'esk flavor with some apricot/nectarine notes and no real after taste. It almost like it hits the sweet taste buds on the tongue and then disappears without a heavy flavoring left in your mouth. I want to put it on some French vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

A bit disappointing. Over-oaked to the point of distraction.

Smells almost like buttered popcorn! (Sprinkled with sugar.)
Tastes like a glass of sultanas dipped in honey. Luscious.
