Wine Critic Review - Wine Enthusiast - 87 points
A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly.

My Review - I smelled peaches, orange blossom, honeysuckle, strawberry and almost like the scent of a rose garden. I thought this wine had a very sweet start but a nice surprise with a punch on the mid-palate then an easy, sweet finish. I thought it tasted like sweet apples, roses, melon and almost like a fruit gummy. I did not try this wine with food.
