Despite a solid cork had turned a color more akin to a red wine. Still very good, but lacking the complexity and balance of a truly great dessert wine.

Light caramel color; intense overripe apple; VERY sweet, really rich and opulent, acidity present to keep it somewhat in check; overall impression is sugar, sugar, sugar; more syrup than a wine, but nevertheless nice candy if you have a (very) sweet tooth

In het glas helder, gemiddeld intens en ambergeel. De geur is zuiver en uitgesproken met duidelije tonen van petrol en botrytus. Die geur die vies is maar ook lekker, verwarrend. In de mond tonen van rozijn, jam en een bittertje van sinaasappel. Heerlijk complex.

Deep amber-mahogony coloured but this was drinking beautifully. Lusciously sweet but with enough acidity and complex aged flavours.
