Vintage Cellar's Notes: Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet.
At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this, because I noticed that it is a 9 year old white wine, and generally, not always though, white wines might not always age that well. It was very sweet smelling. Tropical fruit notes came through, like pineapple and guava with some honey. Those tropical fruit were present in the taste as well, really got some guava, some banana as well. Also, I got hints of overly ripe apricots. The honey and vanilla did come through a lot more than I expected as well. This wine would be a good dessert wine, as it was pretty sweet and very fruity.
