Nose: pineapple, cake, sweet nuts, date sugar, some flower, overripe peach, a little orange, beeswax. Mmmmm. Taste: like an adult juice box! Grape-y, golden raisins. It’s good, but a lot less interesting than I hoped for. Doesn’t live up to the nose. Maybe I chilled it too much. 89. It’s good, but disappointing for a Sauternes.

A great balance of fruit and acid. Sweet apricots and orange marmalade. As fresh as it gets.

2013 was a tough vintage, and I shows. Not my favorite Sauternes, but still drinkable.
