Incredible aromatics if candied orange peel, marmalade, white florals, fresh honey, apricot nectar and glazed citron. High acid here that cleans up the sweet palate amazingly well.

Luscious stone fruits, honeyed botrytis notes, searing acidity.

The 1990 Baumard is still one big baby Huey of a sweet wine! Intense and unyielding in it's richness, basil and honey, tropical pineapple, solid core in the middle, could go years more!

Similar to the Quarts de Chaume but a little richer and doesn't quite have the same structure to support.

Like nectar. Golden, honey dipped apricot rolled in pollen. Just barely sweet.
