Medium amber color with aromas of ripe sweet fruits and honey botrytis notes. On the palate flavors of ripe peaches and figs with honey notes. Long finish ending with sweet fruit notes. Tasting well now.

Another hidden Gem! I have to say, after having one of these dessert Chenin Blanc from Loire, I may not put Sauternes as number one so easily anymore! Not as rich, but a beautiful medium, with lovely notes of fig, apricot/peach, nutmeg, pineapple, honeysuckle, and perfect acid to the mid pallet and finish to wash away the sweet. $35 and you get a perfect finish to your meal, and if you want an even more interesting pairing, try it with pumpkin pie and fresh whip on top. Match made in heaven! Thank you @Tais Altunian for this Christmas gift. It was loved by everyone!

Like a velvety mead. Apricot notes with light citrus.

Petrol and flint immediately. After a little gassing off there is apparent stone fruit and tropical fruit with a heavy undertone of minerality. The petrol is very aggressive throughout the wine and wonderfully embraced, a very unique and value driven botrytis wine worth the purchase.
