I found this at a small wine shop near Pike Place in Seattle. When I mentioned to the wine steward that I was looking for a Vin Santo, he strong-armed me into buying this wine, telling me it would make me "geek out". It was an easy sell.
This wine was absurd on the nose. Absurd. It showed aromas ranging from pistachio to Indian spices to dried fig to orange peel. It was all over the place. On the palate, it showed a good balance between sweet and dry, with a light syrupy body. It shows honeysuckle, St- Germain, Meyer lemon, apricot and pistachio, and is really a great, balanced desert wine. I will definitely buy this wine again. Pair with panna cotta. February 4, 2010
