Ive liked previous vintages better but dried spiced apricot hay (notice a tiny bit of VA but not enough to be distracting) 2015 vintage nice mouthfeel medium bodied ( love that the name gives you residual sugar )

Pop and pour. Notes from 6 hrs open. On the nose: soft petrol, sweet peach, a touch of oxidative fruit. On the palate: ok acidity; I wouldn't call this "off-dry" but sweet, some golden raisiny notes, and a touch disjointed on the finish. Oily on the palate. Ok, but dessert wine for my palate.
