90 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011
(8% alcohol and 23% residual sugar): Gold color. Initially closed nose opens slowly to reveal apricot nectare, orange oil and a resiny nuance. Fat and very sweet, with thick stone fruit and honey flavors. A fruit bomb in the middle palate but a bit soft for this style. The persistent, honeyed finish could use more grip and acidity.
