What a beautiful, mature sweetie. Pale orange colour. It smells of honey, spice, crystallized fruits and copper kettles. It is rich and obviously has some sweetness (honestly, I expected more sweetness) but delineated and actually quite racy! Fresh, moderately long finish - refreshing enough that I took a second pour and could have handled a third had there been any left! Quite the perfect time to be drinking this.
I usually prefer sweeties without botrytis because I like the purity of the fruit to shine through without anything else obfuscating the view. But sometimes these rotten wines are just lovely; especially in such examples which still manage to show the grape's character.
