Nice gold body. Deep honeyed apricot aroma, full and sweet in the right amounts. Taste is a thick apricot helped by strong honey, finishing smooth with lingering citrus and sweetness. Very well done, highly enjoyable.

Has a fairly dark golden-brown colour. The aroma is rich, with a lot of caramelized sugar. The apricot, to the extent it was there in the first place, seems to be absent from the aroma now, after whatever number of years this spent in an half-empty bottle in the back of the fridge. Very sweet, like rich and yummy dark honeys but also sort of one-dimensional. Some alcoholic heat, and maybe a touch of wood, but mostly this is a rich sugar bomb, and again the fruit seems gone now. My sweet tooth does appreciate this.

2015 vintage. 50mL dink bottle, pours a clear golden blonde. Aroma brings out the apricots and honey in good cohesion upfront, with light acidity and moderate sweetness. Flavour is medium sweet, with treacly honey upfront, very faint / subdued apricots, alcohol and a subtle tartness underneath. Quite a lot of heat, but it works well. Warming on the palate. Nice.
