($40) Vivid gold. Exotically perfumed bouquet displays orange marmalade, apricot, mango, peach, brown butter, honey and baking spices. Lush, creamy pit and tropical fruit flavors show impressive depth and considerable sweetness, but subtle minerality adds back-end lift and cut. The finish doesn't let up, strongly repeating the honey and tropical fruit notes along with a hint of honeydew. This is sweet enough to serve with rich desserts or strong cheeses but I don't find it cloying. Very seductive already but balanced to age for at least another decade.
