Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Copper-gold color. Complex, powerful bouquet of apricot, cling peach, poached pear and butterscotch. Lush and creamy but lively, with deep candied pit fruit, melon and honey flavors underscored by sweet butter and baking spices. For such a deep, sweet and velvety wine this is impressively lively, with excellent tangy lift on the finish. (ST)

Wine Enthusiast

With residual sugar of 22.4%, this dessert wine has fantastically sweet flavors of apricot jam, tangerine marmalade, gingersnap cookie, vanilla and crème brûlée, balanced with crisp acidity. The alcohol is a refreshingly low 9.8%.

Wine Spectator

Strong lemon verbena, honey, apricot and pineapple notes are rich and unctuous, yet juicy on the finish. Full of intensity, focus and personality. (MW, Web-2008)
