Deep yellow with golden tones, aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits with slight oaky notes. On the palate flavors of apricot, peach and dried pineapple, graceful. Long finish, lively acidity ending with sweet fruit, oak and honey character.

Nice bottle to finish the weekend. Killing it, but still too young. Next bottles should be post 2020. Great leather and toasty notes, mild oxidation, great balance. Color is like a light tawny port, but more red, still translucent, and an intriguing come hither vibe... We drink Vin Santo so infrequently, but wow do I miss this bottle, this producer is a star.
Getting back to this bottle after a seven day delay...Wow! Somehow it picked up more acid, fruit and the tawny port-like nose is awesome. Glad we still have a few bottles in hiding.

Very nutty, almond brittle, burnt caramel, maple syrup candies and pecan. It's amazing how long the balance of this wine carries through the finish.

This wine was show stoppingly good. I always over rate sweet wines, but this was one of the best I've had in a while. So much energy and a broad spectrum of beautiful sweet flavors coupled with hints of savory. And not a thing cloying about it.
