Red apple, cognac, peach, lemon and some minerality as well. Not as much acid as the Sauvignon blanc to cut that sweetness but still quite tasty. — 10 years ago

I'm fond of the structure and complexity of this wine. It's not just a smack in the face of intense honey nectar, but rather has some character. You can taste other forest berries and ripe fruit along with the honey undertone. A bit more acidic too, which is nice. Still quite syrupy. — 10 years ago
Well I'm not surprised to say that there was a bit of challenges with the cork from this 1997 Süssreserve Vidal from Pillitteri. Fortunately the cork maintained it's overall structure enough to protect the wine! :) Notes: the colour is a honey yellow showing signs of significant aging. The nose is instantly intriguing with melons very present. The sugars in this Vidal has allowed for a graceful cellaring over the past 17 years. The flavours include honeydew melon, with some balancing acidity. — 10 years ago
