Classic nose of vinyl and sweet fruit, but simple and without the tropical fruits that one often finds in these wines; pretty much the same in the mouth; there is a good smooth sweetness to the wine, offset by enough dry lemony flavors to keep the wine from tipping over into irrelevance, but the total effect is weak and uninteresting; pretty two-dimensional and flat.

sweet, honeyed aromas, quite perfumed, but also showing the presence of talc and paraffin, white acacia flowers, and smoke; smoky and fresh in the mouth with very full-flavored textures; lots of honeyed fruit; very spicy, almost to distraction; smooth and ripe at the end. (16.5/20) 1 Note

Sweet and very tropical nose with passion fruit and papaya, very aromatic and effusive, touch of vinyl and minerals underneath; sweet and spicy in the mouth, melons and cantaloupes; oily and very smooth; there is a crisp edge to this wine though that keeps it from becoming too soft and sweet; long finish with sweet flavors and an herbal twitch in the mouth; superb and quite elegant.

Sweet and honeyed nose with exotic and subtle aromas, deeply layered, spiced pumpkin, honeyed fruit, allspice, tropical fruits, but also a more restraining element of dry earth, talc, and herbs; sweet and spicy in the mouth with intense flavors; honeyed fruit, tropical elements; passion fruit, spices; very smooth in the mouth with layers of silky textures; an endless finish in the mouth.

Powerful nose of exotic sweet aromas, tropical with passion fruit, papaya, mango aromas, rich with sweetness; full and ripe in the mouth with intense flavors; exotic tropical flavors combine with citrus fruits to create a well-balanced wine that exudes the classic nature of this grape at its exotic and spicy best; thick and concentrated with mouthcoating qualities and a long, rich finish.

Sweet and rich nose, lemon peel, touch of minerals, ripe floral scents, tropical scents; sweet and flavorful, lots of melon with tropical highlights; a bit soft and bordering on flabby, but still pleasant; light touch of lemon and citrus fruit; good but not a wine for the long haul. (15/20) 1 Note

Wonderful, powerful aromas of sweet tropical fruit, spices, white flowers, lemon and other citrus fruits; deep and rich in the mouth; the first flavors are of apricots and white peaches; liquid fruit compote but also with a wonderful core of citrus and spice; ripe and fleshy, almost fat, but keeps itself fully composed throughout; balanced and complex; long finish, sweet but also with dry tones and a lemon peel complement. (18/20) Another bottle later in the year from a different source; pretty consistent notes. 1 Note

Very perfumed and aromatic, sweet and raisiny nose, plenty of herbs and minerals though, and there is a depth and complexity that goes beyond the initial typical perfume and exotic fruit aromas; intense and sweet in the glass, but with restrained qualities that provide a sense of elegance and refinement; lots of minerals in this wine, and a touch of what can only be described as austerity that plays off nicely against the fruit and opulence; long finish, smooth and viscous without being cloying; nicely defined acidity at the end.
