Very nice wine, excellent color with dense arches slowly going down the glass. In the bouquet it is predominately overripe tropical fruit with a bit of honey. In taste it is so smooth and round that almost let you forget the time of the day, very nice fruity character is repeated with lingering finish. It actually is the type of wine where the bottle is somehow finished without even noticing it.
