Beautiful nose of dried apricots, honey, light spices and honeysuckle.

Good sauternes from a great vintage. Golden with a slight watery hem, though with ample legs; well-defined nose of apricots, orange marmalade, and honey (with a hint of plantains?); a little low on acid but still enough to bin it all together. Decent weight and length. A very good Stilton and pâté wine!
