During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.
Lovely Sauternes provided by @Weston Eidson . Pineapple and honey dominated on both the nose and palate. Long ways to go. Powerful.

De Malle Tropical aromas of coconut, ripe pineapple, tree sap. wonderful concentration of flavor with honeydew, dried apricot, kumquat, follows through with dried apricots and yellow sultanas. a little petrol for interest but not as much acid as I would like.
