Rich and syrupy yet not overly heavy, this unctuous dessert wine boasts aromas and flavors of honeyed nuts, dried apricots and orange marmalade. Long and sweet on the finish, with enough sugar to stand up to fairly sweet desserts, although it might be at its best with blue cheese. Imported by Winemonger.com. ——J.C.(3/1/2006)—— 94

A golden-orange color with flecks of brown gives the (correct) impression of great ripeness. This is an unctuously sweet TBA, filled with layers of brown sugar, honey, caramel and figs, accented by dried spices. Long and honeyed on the finish. ——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 92
