My first experience with this wine. Very sweet, but not cloying. Superripe peaches and white plumbs and golden raisins are all over the place -- this is not the most structured sweet wine I've encountered. Lots of sweet honey, long finish. I really enjoyed this but I do think it is a bit heavy on thye palate and a little more complexity and less sweetness would do it well -- that said, perhaps that is exactly what is going to happen to it over time. 93.5 with room for improvement.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

Sounds like a "would be" attorney

I do agree with the note except I did think it was cloying. I also detected some orange rind on the pallet.
