Delicious and just enough sweetness to cut the acidity.

Love M-C but I usually go with their dry wines. This was smooth and brought some elegant elements; just a tad short unfortunately. Incredibly interesting nose though. Need to try this again: cork was drenched.

Most from the 2001 vintage are starting to round into form, but from the Great Estates they are certainly still young and fresh.

So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

So wishing I had a house full of salty creamy cheese to inhale with this honeyed, slate-y, apricoted, pineapple upsidedown cake goodness.

Last vintage of Hans-Gunther Schwarz and incredible. Creamy apricot and cheesecake Flavors. Incredible fat and plumpness in the texture. Creamy cheesy marzipan notes on the finish.

Balanced fruit, seeetness and acidity. Lots of tropical flavors.
