A tasty dessert wine with toasted coconut, caramel, butterscotch and almonds. This '03 is drinking very good with a long drinking window in front of it.

Amber color. Kind of an Alsatian gewurz like nose of lychee and apricot/peach and that botrytis smell. Thick and very sweet, Amaretto almond, peach, vanilla and a hint of orange peel/grand marnier. Very good but not quite great.Could use a bit more acid and spice

Dark gold. Nose of trampled grapes and honey. On the palate it is rich and sweet, predominantly notes of honey with a bits of peach, apricot, and orange marmalade showing through. Has a liquor edge on the finish. A bit too cloying for me as it lacks enough acidity to carry the sweetness.

Nice - no notes. Improved with airtime and paired well with BBQ Pork (surprisingly). 91+
