An explosion of honeyed fruit of all origins. Pears, oranges, apricots, and peaches. Orange cream complemented by excellent acidity, minerality, and a smokiness just starting to show itself. Still too young, but can be enjoyed now.

Solid, reliable dessert wine. A bit more VA than I'd prefer but good acidity.

Sauternes & Barsac wines are something I rarely drink so young, but the recent '13s I've had were worth sacrificing. Especially when the price is right, like this one. Gingered apricot jam on graham crackers, in liquid form.

Mörk sötma som liksom tränger in överallt. Passar till mandeldesserter. Sirap och honung

Thick, sweet, syrupy nectar with a touch of walnut and a hint of pepper (from the Semillon). Beautiful amber color. A nice complement to hamachi crudo.
