TASTING NOTE: Deep gold with an amber hue, it s produced from 26-year-old Vidal vines. Expressive aromas entice - honey, orange liqueur and orchard fruit along with apricot and nectarine. There s a rich, luscious, honeyed texture and fabulous balance of sweet fruit and fresh, tangy acidity. Flavours of ripe tree fruit and crËme caramel are matched with a lifted note of zesty orange rind. The appealing contrast of the opulent texture and the refreshing tang carry through on the long-lasting finish. Enjoy on its own or with strong cheese. Score: 4.5 stars out of 5 (Susan
