Burmese take out and Aszú. Where there is fatty umami there should always be Tokaj.

Along with different cheeses (reblochon, fourme d’Ambert and a goat cheese I couldn’t identify) it was superb. A wonderful nose of apricot, honey, wax, dried Corinthian raisins. I could spend an hour just smelling my glass without tasting... the palate is a model of balance. The botrytis thing does its trick (brioche, honey, raisins) but the acid backbone is so intense that the wine is very easy to drink, not heavy at all. The finish goes for ever with sugary notes and spices. Is this a touch of mint that I feel in the end?

Orange; botrytis nose of marmalade, honey and pear; on palate sweetness and alcohol somewhat dominate acidity; med finish. At F&G and at home both post big meals.
