Very thick and syrup consistency. Had an overwhelming raisin flavor profile on the end.

Light golden. Light sweet nose of Szechuan pepper and lemon. Spicy apricot flavours and a not so rich but sweet finish. Not really concentrated or terribly interesting but a lively sweet drink.

Drank at Plateau This really has an incredible amount of orange zest and citrus on the nose. Wonderful stuff and a real bargain that goes beautifully with dessert.

Love this. Not overly sweet, this wine always brings a very distinct flavor profile - black tea with lots of honey and some lemon. The finish even has the tannic feel of oversteeped tea and makes it easy to drink this in quantity - thankfully this was a 750ml...

Sweet and viscous with a nice orange flavor, perfect for pairing with chocolate cupcakes.

Love this wine with dessert. Apricot and citrus, with a hint of black tea and honey. Killer value.

Burnt, amber orange appearance. The nose is redolent with orange marmalade and notes of dried apricots, ripe mangoes, florals, and orange zest. It's on the lighter side of viscous, sporting a crunchy texture, agreeable acidity, adequate complexity, and a streak of minerality that crescendos from mid-palate through the orange zest finish. Sweet, but not cloying, the fruit masks the alcohol (15%) making it easy to finish a half-bottle. Had it on its own but this would be a perfect match …

Matched perfectly with peach-cream pie. Very fruit-forward and juicy. Not much acidity, but not overly sweet. Would buy again (at $11 for 375ml)

orange marmalade with hints of apricot; some floral notes; would have benefitted from more acidity to counteract the sweetness.

It's a well made wine but be prepared for something super sweet with a heavy orange flavor. Not my cup of tea but can tell by the initial taste and medium-long finish that it was nicely made.

Good – clear mid bright orange; oranges and floral notes on nose; sweet; mid acidity; medium body; mid length finish; strong taste of oranges. Had it with a fruit brulee - too sweet to drink without food

This is a sweet 2006 Orange colored dessert wine. Not too syrupy. Strong orange characteristics on the nose and Orange and Apricot in the mouth. Sweet on the tongue but light orange blossom sweetness lingering on the finish. Too sweet to drink with Thai food but great after dinner sipping wine.

Cork crumbled, but wine turned out beautiful. Dark amber color and showing age. Very complex on the palate, with citrus, black tea and a hint of mint. Clean finish, not too sweet, really nice!

thick syrupy muscat. Nose of orange liquor. Nice orange and apricot flavors but very primary. Finish is a short and not very pleasant. A one note song. Nothing special.
