We opened five dessert wines right, and this was in the top two. Rich and explosive on the palette. Just want to keep sipping. Golden amber to the eye. Lychee, lots of lychee, on the nose and palette. This was added to the cellar in early 2012 on release - it’s done incredibly well.

Fun to drink, though not something I'd make a habit of; quite thick, rich and sweet - I tend to prefer something with more acidity and vibrancy and less overt sweetness, but fun nonetheless.

Apricot, plum and raisins on the nose and palate. Still appears to have time in drinking interval.

Remains consistent with dried apricot and prunes on the nose and palate. Maybe a slight hint of caramel.

Lush, thick and smooth. A little heavy, but very pleasant none the less.
