To steal a line from Lyle Fass: Just wow.
70% Semillon / 30% Sauvignon Blanc
Late botrytis harvest.
The nose on this thing is deep and intense, though I have to say that the finest aromas dissipate quickly so don't let this one sit in the glass or the bottle after opening.
Layers of dessicated fruits, candied citrus peel and spices...so much spice.
And that texture! Imagine the finest silk sheets in the world in your mouth and you'll get close. What a treat.

Beautiful notes of apricot and honey with hints of citrus and vanilla. Creamy and smooth with floral hints on the finish.
