The worlds best wine? After tasting six vintages it would be hard to argue against it. Where does it fit in today's rushed world? That is another question. So much sweetness, acidity and complexity, but where is the audience?

Very young but lovely fresh apricots, peaches and pineapple. Honeysuckle and white flowers. What really makes this wine amazing though is the body. It's big and round the whole way through where so many Sauternes fall either in the middle or finish. Lovely.
