Thursday, April 26, 2012 - Appearance: Bright and clear, medium intensity amber colour, with watery rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity and developing aromas of raisin, honey, apricot, oak, orange marmalade, cinnamon and caramel.
Palate: Sweet, with medium (+) acidity and medium (+) alcohol. Full body, the wine has a medium (+) intensity flavors of apricot, honey, walnut, orange marmalade and raisin. Medium (+) length.
Conclusion: Very good quality Sauternes with a good balance of acidity and sweetness, exhibiting a freshness which integrated well and making the wine not cloying. A fairly intense nose showing good complexity, the palate is weaker with simpler though still of fair intensity. The wine finishes with a good length, it is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 8-10 years.
