Thick middle palate and clear botrytis lychee. Big, rich, sweet quinces and honeydew melon." Peter Simic , Winestate, May 1999 "Straw gold. Ripe tropical fruits. Again, pineapple botrytised fruit. Some honeyed fruit characters. Palate luscious and concentrated. Very long. Very good acidity. Lots of botrytised fruit." Jon Osbeiston, Winestate, May 1999 "Since its debut in 1982 (which won more than 50 gold medals and 10 trophies), this has been Australia's premier dessert style wine. The 1996 continues the quality with its intense brandied orange botrytis flavours and delightfully long finish. These wines will develop an extra degree of complexity and mellowness if allowed to age."
