Notes:

Yalumba has made this, a very nice dessert wine.

Pale bright yellow in colour, the nose brings soft scents of apricots and peach with a hint of lemons.

The palate is more intense than the nose but not overwhelming, bringing ripe apricots and peaches with a honey touch and some raisins.

Very uniform and well balanced with a rather smooth finish and medium length.

If you are looking for a super sweet dessert wine, keep looking. However if you want something nice, smooth and pleasant, sweet but delicate and balanced, this is a perfect finish for a meal.
