The key to sweet wines is the balance between its luscious sweet fruits and acidity, Here, you find all that and more. With a core of roasted apricots, honeysuckle, spice, candied tangerines, mangos, honey and vanilla that coat your palate, it is the attention-grabbing, racy quality of the fruits, due to all of its fresh acidities that makes this an effortless, treat to taste. Drink from 2023-2055.

Arvi Bordeaux 2020 Arrivage (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Bordeaux 2020 Arrivage tasting. Key observations: 1/ Tannins were generally soft and well-integrated, but still left room for structure, 2/ fruit generally ripe and well-defined, no over-extraction, 3/ all appellation were showing great, but if I had to pick out then it would be Paulliac, 4/ top wines were Petit Village (completely unexpected, 97) and Lynch Bages (96).
Tasting note: An compelling nose with dried and candid fruit but also more fresh elements, a herbal touch and chamomile. While this was a nice juxtaposition to the more candid profile of Suduiraut, the palate was similarly viscous with lots of honey aroma.

Grilled oranges, pineapple, flowers, apricots and macadamia nut honey crowd into the perfume. Lush, sweet, juicy and fresh, with a honey slathered, racy, tropical fruit accent, the wine hits all the right notes needed for a sweet treat. 93-92

Has a coolness and poise – an olive oil sense of weight, and chunky pineapple fruit. Rich and layered, this feels seriously intense! Super freshness and precision with a fragrant, orange citrus finish.

Clean, sugar, clementine. I love the little orange component on the palate. Very nicely composed, very satisfying.

Rich and tangy but lacking complexity. At UGC LA.
