Honey, apricot, orange zest and slightly nutty aromas. Balanced and fruity with nice finish.

Beautiful golden/orange color. Aromas and flavors of honey, apricot, quince, orange jam and white flowers. Viscous but not overly sweet. Extremely aromatic. Brimming with acidity. Quite rich. Thank You for sharing, John P.

Very nice dessert Sauternes. Not overly viscous and syrupy. Actually pleasantly lighter in body. Tropical fruit and apricot flavors. Nice salmon color. Just a hint of the botrytis the grapes had. Good dessert wine.

Carmel color, but still feels like I jumped the gun on this one. Wait if you can.

Honey and a little citrus. Sweet but not too sweet. Happy New Year! Nice start with our cheese course and appetizers.
