Special stuff (and special bottle acquired at the chateau in ‘16, a magical place). Lighter and less sweet vs what I was expecting. Millions of peaches (and apricots) & wildflower honey. Lychee. White pepper, candied ginger, orange peel and mandarin orange on the finish. Slightly muted but delicate florals on the nose. Bottle probably still too cold. Either way, great with baked peaches & vanilla custard.

Absolutely delicious now, well proportioned, deep gold, nice botrytis with honeycomb, pit fruits, citrus and brown sugar. Reached for a half bottle to pair with roasted peaches and worked great.

Amazing sugar and acid balance plus flavor complexity that lingers on the palate.
