- TheEngineer - 03-25-2006 for the 2003. Light golden in color. A nice thick late harvest, with nose of raisins and tea. On the palate, a hint of orange zest and honey with the raisins and tea, but a strong biting acidity (almost too strong and as such a bit out of balance) that cleans up the palate. Long finish and long persistence.
