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!

Très pâte de coing, avec quelques touches d'abricot. C'est un vin fin et élégant.

2006. Color deeper than expected, very light as a barsac at the beginning which I love, coconut nose not overly sweet. Next day the Sauternes sweetness really showed without good acidity to balance, thus no complexity. Text book Sauternes, buy.
