Ripe stone fruit with a creamy richness; stewed peaches, lychee(ish), and a hint of spice that grabs you mid-palate. The 10.5% alc/vol allows for the residual sweetness and there is the slightest amount of effervescence, though barely detectable in terms of texture. A touch more acidity would benefit, but this suffices nicely as a light, simple, and unassuming sipper. Serve well chilled. Tasted Sept 2012.
