Bright gold in color, which is unusual for the variety. Aromas of ripe peach, apricot and salty air are mature and chunky. The palate is equally ripe and forward, with flavors of honey, nuts and corn flakes. Turns sweet and mildly cloying on the midpalate, with vanilla on the finish. Not for everyone, but has merits. ——M.S.(8/1/2004)—— 86
