Incredibly rich, sweet, lush and opulent, the wine is loaded candied lemon peel, pineapple, apricots, vanilla and orange rind all slathered in honey. This is the most intense, powerful sweet wine of the vintage. The finish really lingers.

Plump, with tasty pineapple chutney, mango and creamed peach notes backed by acacia honey on the broad finish. Lovely fruit, just missing the zip of the great years. Drink now through 2035. 75 cases made. –JM

Spicy, featuring tangerine and clementine notes layered with almond and ginger cream flavors. Shows a bit more zing than most of its peers in this generally forward and direct vintage.
