Bright golden yellow. Starts out with an almost pungent floral quality complicating white stone fruit, mango and caramel aromas. Then rich and dense in the mouth, with fruit-dominated flavors of dried apricot, peach, passion fruit and quince. The finish is long and smooth. Roughly 70% of the berries were hit by noble rot: this was harvested around October 8th and is really an SGN in style that the family forgot to declare in time to get the official recognition allowing it to be labeled as such.
