Floral perfume, sweet apricot liquor on the palate. Phenolics and minerals give this a good little bit of structure, just not enough or enough acid overall to put this in the very top tier of sauternes.

Yellow gold. Vibrant in the glass. Rich nose. Notes of apricot and mango, honey, tan spice and some pineapple. Fruity and rich in the mouth. Decent finish.

Jack & Arden put together a wonderful evening of delicious food and great wines, and a few of us attendees contributed some bottles to enjoy as well. Great night!

The closest I’ve ever been to having Chateau La Tour, ha! Young, dense and compact. Very bright fruits of pineapple and white peach on the nose and palate with a nectarine style finish. Not quite honeyed at this stage. Nice
