Description: Packed with dried apricot, spice and honey character on the nose. The mouth feel is full and impressively rich but with superb balance, the result of elegant acidities. The aftertaste seems to linger forever. This wine will gain complexity after 2 to 5 years in the bottle. The perfect way to end a meal, or enjoy with flavourful cheeses.Jancis Robinson: Published : May 2010 - Strong barley-sugar aroma, bags of botrytis. Rich and unctuous with a fine bitter-orange zestiness. Balanced and very long plus an attractive light grip to the texture. Complex already. RS 198 g/j (JH)
Wine Spectator: Issue: Web Only - 2008. Enticing, with freshly cut peach, tangerine and clementine flavors on a bright, lithe frame. Medium-sweet, with a lingering finish. Drink now.–JM.Stephen Tanzer: Mar/Apr 07. By Stephen Tanzer. Full yellow with green highlights. Highly complex, vibrant nose melds apricot, orange marmalade, lime, minerals and honey. Sappy and bright, with racy acids giving shape and lift to the pineapple, lime and mineral flavors. Still a bit folded in on itself but this has a terrific core of fruit. Finishes with penetrating tangerine and lime flavors and terrific verve, with an almost tannic impression. The wine's 124 grams per liter of residual sugar is held in check by very high (10.7 g/l) acidity. A splendid showing.John Platter Guide 2008.

Wine Enthusiast 88pts ( 2007) - A magnetic nose of soft honey, flowers and pineapple gives this dessert wine a head start. Clean, crisp and intense flavors of honey and orange marmalade are lush but not heavy. The finish is long and pretty. — S.K. (6/1/2009)
Vinification: As with previous vintages we had favourable conditions for the development of Noble rot. We picked very carefully, selecting only bunches with clean botrytis (no sour rot allowed). After rigorous sorting, the grapes were destemmed and transferred to tank where the grapes were left on the skins overnight to extract as much juice and flavour as possible. Thereafter the berries were pressed and the juice settled at 5°C for two days. The juice was then fermented slowly at 14 - 16 °C, and fermentation lasted eight weeks. 50% of this wine has been fermented and matured in 3rd fill French oak barrels for eight months. The other 50% did not get any oak treatment. Thereafter the wine was blended, stabilised and bottled.
