Sunday, December 3, 2023 - All Sauternes, All Night (R & G Lounge, SF): What a treat to experience - thanks Fred. Fully tertiary notes of rum raisin, toasted almonds, mushroom, and creme brulee. The acidity here is thrilling, and it drinks like a Sercial Madeira. Acid freaks should find a way to try this wine. A bit of VA, but elegant, notably drier than the rest of the wines but still carries some nice sweetness. Tons of complexity, but doesn't quite have the amplitude of the bigger wines at the table. Still, one of my favorites of the night, with the mouth-watering acidity bringing me back to the glass again and again.
