Medium yellow. Tangy aromas of orange peel, exotic fruits and spicy, vanillin oak; strong suggestions of noble rot. Highly concentrated though not yet especially unctuous, thanks to unusually vibrant acidity for this wine. Very sweet but not at all sugary. Botrytis notes of citrus skin and honey. Finishes long and subtle.

One of the less impressive vintages from LTB. This is very acidic still and might be better in 5-8 years.
