Tasted non blind.
Gold color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of brandy, soaked pears, honeysuckle, allspice and apples. Flavors of brandied pears, lemon zest and yellow apples. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink now. -

September 10, 2014 - One of the best wines i ever drank. 18 years old but still pretty full of life. The color is golden, like a sauternes. In the Nose you get tropical fruit, honey en soms oak. The taste combines sauternes like flavors with chardonnay. The complexity and balance are unprecendented in my experience. Awesome wine!
