Think Beerenauslese here — Anthony Road’s 2020 Late Harvest Vignoles comes from a minimum 50% botrytised vineyard. Intense concentration would be a severe understatement — the flavor just keeps pumping with full throttle apricot, spice and lemon zest that linger together retronasally with great length and clarity. This is a stunning dessert wine.
