Reviews and Ratings

Martha Kelly AIWS - CS rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

With richness on the palate this dessert wine displays flavours of ripe peach, marmalade, and rye bread. It has a balanced refreshing finish.
Pair with fois gras, pungent soft cheeses, or lemon meringue pie.
Drink now, or cellar until 2019.
Date Tasted: October 2014.
Lovely nose of orange blossom, honey wax and white flowers. Terrifically concentrated sweetness at 231 grams per liter of residual sugar. Source: Natalie MacLean
