Community Tasting Note

F1NUT Likes this wine:

Friday, May 3, 2019 - Lovely promising pale gold colour. Rather little botrytis on the nose, its more honeysuckle, pleasant.

I find the palate is slightly lemon with barely ripe pineapple and a bit of apricot bite in the mix. That, of course, is the botrytis which is in support. Its far from syrupy, in fact its quite light and fresh, but there is a lovely persistent sweetness there. Also a very pleasant mix of just ripe fruit - light ripe lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, nectarine and a touch of apricot kernel.

Very nice acid to carry the flavours through.

This is a great mix of well judged ripeness and acidity. I don't get the overt botrytis and viscosity of a great Sauternes but this is everything we need to go with most desserts and cheese.

Superbly judged for the warm vintage, a lovely clean finish. Refreshing. What's not to like? The price point is also good news.
