This dessert wine’s nose is laced with overripe apricots trod upon after a rain. It's sweet, but it's earthy, and just a hint of smoke comes out of nowhere. The palate gives the same mixed message. “Is this love, baby, or is it just confusion?” The acidity is good - not too soft, not too racy. The finish reminds me of that childhood fruit tree in the neighbors’ yard, with just a little bit of raisin.
