“Deep amber-colored wine with aromas of orange marmalade, apricot tart and honey followed by gingerbread, fruit tea, cardamon and toasted almonds. Very concentrated on the mid-palate with luscious sweetness and mouthwatering acidity that balances out the palate. Enchanting complexity and vitality with layers of exotic spices and flavors. Long and zesty finish. Lots of caramel and oranges. It shows great drinkability but will go much further with age.”

“More sweet and candied than the last release, this now-classic wine made from grapes shriveled by noble rot is lavish in honey, candied orange, toasted peanuts, peach syrup and butterscotch flavors. The color is golden amber, mouthfeel is unctuous, texture beyond creamy and yet backed by a touch of apricot brightness. Time is its friend; best from 2025–2040. ”

“Lush and rich, with marmalade, salted butterscotch, candied orange peel and nougat flavors, offering plenty of spicy ginger candy accents on a supple, viscous frame. Shows fresh acidity, keeping the flavors fresh and in focus. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2032. 1,490 cases made.”
