| NW-1260. 07 SANTA ALICIA LATE HARVEST MOSCATEL LIMARI Spicy, sweet, and right. Lush, silky aromas of peach, apricot, lychee, papaya, mango, and lemon curd. Orange peel overtones suggest muscat alexandria. Very complex and concentrated./ Yes, there’s total flavor confirmation. Plus the palate reveals botrytis tones: honey, pollen, tea, tobacco. Really saturated. Creamy, rich, and sweet, with good acid foil to balance it all out. One of the best values in its genre. 94/100. |
