Deep golden color. Slight amber. Nose of candied apricot and candied orange peel. A bit of butterscotch but mostly dried stone fruit. Similar flavors on the palate with a deliciously long, sweet finish balanced out by nice acidity. Sadly my last bottle but this held up extremely well.

Burgundy night: A little soft but not lacking in acid. Fruit had more peaches than the apricots and honey of a Sauternes. Had a confectionery candied note and simpler than a Sauternes but very nice nonetheless, I think that sweet wines in general are underappreciated.

Day 1, this bottle was still fresh and lively. Great golden fruit and sweetness matched by plenty of acidity. It was an awesome pairing with dulce de leche cheesecake. 92 points
Day 2, the fruit is not as fresh, still plenty of acidity. 89pts

Citrus, apricot, mandarin orange, antique furniture varnish, wood and some apple and vanilla on the sweet nose. The sweet palate continues with the same, adding mineral acidity. Long finish, with some slight bitterness at the end. The age has already turned some of the sweetness into a more burnt sugar -like character, but the sweetness still remains. Enjoyable and balanced. Drink now if you want the remaining bits of youthful fruitiness, or hold if you prefer the mature, tertiary side.

Dark golden color. Complex notes of apricot, citrus peel, and lightly burnt caramel. I thoroughly enjoyed, but my wife found too sweet for her taste
