Second try of this … impressions somewhat different, though similar score.
NOSE: custard, almond…apricot…flan…French pastry. Canned peaches. Honeysuckle. Butterscotch - quite clearly.
TASTE: butterscotch and apricot. Tastes older than it is…though a little simple for a Sauternes. 91-92.

We have relatives over at home for diner and I thought why not open a sweet wine over dessert as this is something we rarely do. There are less and less occasion to open such a wine and tonight felt like the right time.
Roasted pineaple, honey, apricot, this is very inviting. The palate is well designed because it's very sweet Yes, with honey and pineaple notes, but there is a strong acid backbone that cuts deep into the sweetness of the cake we are eating alongside. There is some weight on the sides, that typical viscous touch of a mouthfeel before a long and rather fresh finish with pineaple. This is great stuff!

To close the evening again a great bottle of d’ Arche, compared the classic way with some blue cheese from Ireland. Nothin more to say then: is was a great evening, sleep well!
