Excellent weight and texture. Complex and unctuous with good supportive acidity. A superb effort.

Viscous yet light. Beautiful intense golden color. Almonds, honey, mild spices. Citrus of orange and some stone fruit, apricot. Clean finish. Amazing. Like kissing Keri Russell.

Intensely flavored and deep with a vicious and concentrated texture. Baked apples and peaches, honeycake and marzipan. Long and balanced finish.

Deep straw yellow almost medium caramel. Thick caramel on the nose. Needs to be between room and fridge temperature before it opens up. Thick honeysuckles and white floral notes on the palate. Molasses like texture, syrupy and delicious. Full bodied with a medium plus finish. So smooth.

Dry apricots, nectarines, dry candied pineapple, peach, nuts with skin, honey, touch of eau de vie here, shaved coconut, soft sandy minerals & chalk, bright acidity, thick mouthfeel and its consistent start to finish. Quite enjoyable.

Dessert wine to finish off this nights event. Orange gold in color. Perfume, apricot, pear and light flowers on the nose. Smooth, silky and thick. Delicious wine, if you haven't tried it you need to.
