1 Very, very sweet and decadent, like pure honey. Nectar of the gods-type wine, oozing spicy apricot, orange, roasted almond and vanilla honey flavors. To describe the mouthfeel as creamy hardly does it justice, it’s so viscous and glyceriney. A magnificent dessert wine to savor. ——S.H.(12/31/2011)—— 95

A spectacular dessert wine. The residual sugar is 18%, making it superrich in honeyed sweetness, complexed with apricot, pineapple, pear, vanilla cream and new oak flavors of butterscotch and creme brulee. But it’s also crisp in acidity, giving it a clean scour. One of the best sweeties of the vintage.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 95
