(***) white peaches, Bosc pear, honey and vanilla. Bright acidity keeps it refreshing though lusciously sweet.

The purest a Vidal can get. Primary aromas of apricot, but the age allowed for some nice caramel complexities to show up. Rich on the palate with strong honey tones and a touch of citrus hiding in the back. Really lingers too, and paired well with a salted caramel cheesecake.

Pretty great. Lots of citrus up front - lemon, orange. Other fruits get in the mix at mid palate. Surprising acidity is what makes this bottle stand apart. Great value.

Jul 23rd, 2016Gorgeous golden color. The nose is delightfully complex, offering quite a bit more than just simple sweet fruit. It has a shade of green to it that I can't quite put my finger on but I'm going to call it crushed rhubarb stem. But of course, that comes with a healthy heaping of honey comb, candied apricot and flower nectar.
Mouthwatering balance of penetrating sweetness with sharp acidity. The mouthfeel is heavenly. Thick, rich and velvety without being cloying.
I don't know maybe I was just REALLY in the mood for a dessert wine but this baby was really doing it for me.
Paired it with a selection of creamy and salty cheeses and the synergy was positively hedonistic.
Would love to see what this does with 5, 10, hell - 25 years of bottle age. It has the structure for it.
Share with a friend who's smart enough not to pre-judge it just for being sweet. ;)

This is such a refreshing and deliciously sweet dessert wine. I have never had anything like this before. There are so many fruit flavors that I discovered something new with every sip. I counted lychee, honey, apricot, mango, papaya and citrus. It has this nice syrup like viscosity and still its so refreshing. You got to try this out if you are into dessert wines.
