Bruno Besa |Amber with a golden rim. Mature, sweet nose—apricot jam, with rosewater and fresh grapefruit undertones. Sweet palate, with apricot jam again, richly layered fruit, long, and with a bitter almond finish. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Bright orange-gold. Ample pear sweetness and honeyed aromatic richness. Extravagantly sweet—always a pleasure—with barley-sugar charm over quiet pear fruits. Drinkable dessert wine but not one to rearrange the pantheon. | 88

Michael Palij | Very developed and pronounced aromas of grilled pineapple, toasted hazelnut, honeycomb, barley sugar, and cinnamon. The palate follows, with fruit syrup, vanilla, mango, and the massive levels of sugar are balanced by fine acidity and the oak. A cross between Sauternes and Tokay. | 93
