Botrytis honey camomile honey medium acid with slight bitterness slight bit of RS

Slightly botrytized, and achingly lovely- apricot lemon curd, honeysuckle, spice, savory walnut oil, soil-after-rain freshness, with an established acidic core to keep the sugar in check. If I were queen, this is what I'd drink every day. These dudes are legendary for a reason.

Ripe honeydew melon nose. Best drank closer to room temp

It has aged nicely, with a little butterscotch oxidation and showing typical botrytis and a little RS. It could use a little more acidity, but was still very enjoyable, particularly with a torchon of foie gras.

Auction haul. Paid off.

2002 botrytis white burg:)

Macon meets Montrachet: richness and intensity, ripe yet still tense. Liquid white truffle meets rainwater poured upon white rocks, topped with brûlée pineapple core. #hitsfromthebongran

Most recent release. Full bodied and well balanced. Hint of residual sugar but really luscious.

Still rockin’ . Nicely balanced melon and yellow fruit. Yum!
