This golden sweetie smells succulent, with the nose showing honey, apples and chalk. The palate is pure dessert, with some razor-sharp acidity thrown in just to make us want to pair it with a steak or something crazy like that. It's all sweet all the time, yet does not even go near the “cloying” signpost.

Honey, apricot, bruised apple and pear. M+ acid and m body. Honey and apricot carries in the palate akin with roasted almonds. Balanced with a long finish. Great price.

2003. Banging. Smells like candied orange. Rich and syrupy goodness. Hint of Brett on the tail end builds complexity.

Dessert wine, tastes better than it smells! Good with blue cheese

(16.5/20) Сладкое вино с ароматом абрикосов, кумкватов, белого перца. Довольно лёгкое во вкусе, кислотность и сладость хорошо балансирую друг друга. Очень молодое вино, которое требует дальнейшей выдержки.

Ok. I will admit it's a 9.1 but since it's my daughters birth year and we had it on her birthday it's gotta have a few bonus points. Happy 13th to my baby girl Mariana 😘🎉🎂
