The estate’s 2007 Apianae manages to be exotic and full-bodied while avoiding the excessive heaviness that sometimes plagues dessert wines. An array of rose water, flowers, candied orange peel and spices emerge from this beautifully delineated sweet wine. Suggestions of sage and rosemary add further complexity on the finish. This is a beautiful effort from Di Majo Norante. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2017.
I can’t think of too many estates that can match Di Majo Norante for sheer value.
