Of course, it doesn’t look so regal initially and needs nice autumnal sun to get the raisining you want.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe harvested on 1 May at an average brix of 31. The proportion of shrivelled v botrytised fruit was higher than the 2016 so the density\/unctuosity of the final wine and its mouthfeel has a lightness to it.  Nothing shy though.  At around 150g\/l of sugar it’s a dessert wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI handed the flavour profile over to an enthusiastic (but still upright) gaggle of young women at the restaurant.  Above their din here’s what they offered:  sweet (yeah!), pineapple, guava, lychees, pink apple, cocktail.  Sounds OK to me.  Sticky will go many years and once opened seems immune to oxidation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’ve heard that Boris Johnson usually polishes off a whole bottle at a time.  The sugar hit tends to turn him aggressive. When some bleating functionary complained that he hadn’t organised a workable tracing app such that his seaside constituency in Hove could flourish, Boris went into his best scattergun harrumph:  “Just show some guts and champion your community as a venue worthy of support”. The only guts on display were at the beach next day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting notes supplied by Coney Wines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coney Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42751234310226,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7431\/files\/ConeySticky.webp?v=1790140202","url":"https:\/\/www.martinboroughwinemerchants.com\/products\/coney-wines-sticky-fingers-dessert-wine-2020","provider":"Martinborough Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
