Tasting Notes / Comments: | Pale gold in color, this wine has an alluring nose of honeysuckle, pineapple, and wet slate, along with some toast notes. Medium to full bodied, it carries its 16% alcohol quite well. It delivers plenty of ripe pineapple and tropical fruit flavors with “big time” coconut. The flavors linger. It also has a great mouthfeel and a long lasting, dry finish, with spices and a tartness that presents an interesting contrast to the wine’s sweeter flavors. There’s also some bitter almond on the finish. An elegantly complex wine. TableWine (1999 vintage)
