A gold-colored, supremely rich wine produced from a selection of grapes in the vineyard. It is concentrated with honey and lemon flavors, acidity for a great balance and touches of orange peel. Drink this special wine from 2018.

Wood aging does not help the richness of this wine. It brings out toast and covers the glorious sweet fruits. With acidity thrown in the balance is not there. Maybe several years will help, so don't drink before 2017.

Just beginning to show its age, this is a wine that was once beautifully sweet. Now, it is the acidity that is coming through, emphasizing orange juice rather than honey. It's now become a food wine, ready for fish with the local beurre blanc sauce.
