"Rich, bright amber in color with an intense aroma of apricots, quinces, marmalade and butterscotch on the palate, woven with an astonishing tapestry of flavors on the tongue, leaving the mouth perfumed with exotic fruits and flavors the following morning."
Hugh Johnson, Winemaker

"One sip explains the legend."
Steven Spurrier, VinExpo 2003

"Distinctive aromas of prunes and herbs, with the prune flavor continuing, along with apricot, orange marmalade and honey accents. Bracing acidity keeps it from being cloying, lending persistence and freshness on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 25 cases made. 97 points."
