My padre made botrytis wines only in the years that we had natural noble-rot...this wine was awesome... Apricot fruit and leaf on the nose and pallet along with dried honey all day.

More sulfur and the wine would still be golden but I would rather have off color than a bunch of SO2 to keep the wine gold... Just saying
