Notes
-----
The color is a lovely golden caramel, sort of a light amber.
The nose is quite light, at first with a strong scent of
banana that mercifully vanished after a minute or so of
breathing, to be replaced by a sweet orange scent with a
touch of honey. The flavor has a sharp, alcoholic bite
overlying the other flavors, toning down to mostly sweet
orange and apricot flavors, with a bit of honey flavor. The
finish lingers lightly for a while, with a taste that is
oddly rich dark--I would say burnt sugar and raisins.

This is a pleasant little wine, especially for the price. It
would be a good choice for someone who needs an "everyday
drinker" dessert wine.
