A spectacular dessert wine. The residual sugar is 18%, making it superrich in honeyed sweetness, complexed with apricot, pineapple, pear, vanilla cream and new oak flavors of butterscotch and creme brulee. But it's also crisp in acidity, giving it a clean scour. One of the best sweeties in the vintage.
