Have had only a handful of first growth Sauternes in my lifetime,. This experience was remarkable. Soft butterscotch & mellow pineapple, and white flowers. A knife edge of acidity leading a dense yet lithe medium bodied mouthfeel with an aftertaste lingering forever. Tasted on own after a meal. The 15 yrs of age just deepens the layers of flavors. Wow.

Monthly wine group met up and had an Italian wine night at one of the local Italian BYOB spots. Really fantastic Italian wines were brought, as well as some random bottles that were outside the theme (but worthy of opening regardless of theme).
Nothing like some killer Sauternes to finish off dinner. So perfumed. Honeyed mango, almonds, orange blossom.

Outstanding breakfast wine! Perfectly ripe peach and apricot, caramelized brown sugar. Crystallized honey. Just enough acidity to keep it fresh and balanced.
