Tropical but fresh. Lengthy.

Tonight's foie gras and Sauternes tasting: my rank 2 of 4. Group no. 3. Light amber glow. Tight at first but unwinds to caramel aromas and hints of brininess. Stylish viscous mouthfeel with soft salted caramel flavors. Thick lingering finish.

(Split) — Intense apricot aromas and flavors, still very youthful, but also an odd medicinal/band-aid note that detracts a bit, on the other hand, this tastes like it’s 5-years-old, not sure what I think on this one?!?!

Beautiful, even better with the seared foie and persimmon. Honey and flowers in the nose. Rich honey caramel, tons of orange brininess in mouth. Seamless finish..orange all day long. Crazy good
