Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Complex and interesting. Still lively while exhibiting a certain maturity at the same time. Great balance, spice, sweet, and savory tones. Makes one sit and drink and think if you're ready to listen.

Golden color. Creme Brûlée with peaches and cream on the nose continue through on the flavors. Dried fig shows on the delicate, soft finish.

WOTN without a doubt! Bottle empty in 30 minutes or so, what a beauty this great aged Sauternes. And I think this wine has at least a decade to stay on this level.
