Tasting notes
"The wine has a medium to deep golden color. The intense aromas are of fresh apricot, honey & botrytis/honeysuckle notes. The very sweet & incredibly intense palate is rich with flavors honey & a syrupy texture. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a marzipan texture & delicate notes of vanilla & almond. The enduring finish is exceptionally vibrant with apricot fruit & lovely balancing freshness."

"Apricot tones with lively acidity give this rich wine a vein of freshness. Pear and white peach notes offer weight, while a lime backbone brings levity. There is a richness from the botrytis that is lifted by this wines delicious freshness." Wine Enthusiast
