Rich, unctuous and silky, the botrytis-affected Violetta is a monumental dessert wine. On the nose the honey and floral component rocks! Clover honey, honeysuckle, other honey & flower combos that are yet to be invented. The palate has an intense vanilla and almond characteristic that could almost lay claim to a touch of oxidation. Brulee, peach syrup and orange peel round out the flavor profile, with a long and seductive finish. Very, very nice.
