Tasting Note:January 21, 2017

Deep straw yellow almost medium caramel. Thick caramel on the nose. Needs to be between room and fridge temperature before it opens up. Thick honeysuckles and white floral notes on the palate. Molasses like texture, syrupy and delicious. Full bodied with a medium plus finish. So smooth.

Dessert wine to finish off this nights event. Orange gold in color. Perfume, apricot, pear and light flowers on the nose. Smooth, silky and thick. Delicious wine, if you haven't tried it you need to.
