Honeyed yellow and orange tropical fruits with beautiful notes of vanilla, flowers, spice and candied citrus are just great. On the palate, all the sweet, fresh, honeyed tropical fruit with touches of white peach and marmalade in the endnote hits all the right spots if you are craving something sweet.

Arvi Bordeaux 2018 Arrivage (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Tasting of 2018 Bordeaux in the bottle. A mixed vintage where St. Emilion often ended up over-ripe and cooked while Pomerol seems to have fared better, as did the left bank. Wine of the tasting was Rauzan Ségla, but the Léovilles (Barton and Poyferré), Pichon Lalande and Clinet presented themselves brilliantly as well.
Tasting note: A slightly less concentrated and not as sweet interpretation of Sauternes. Fresh spearmint elements add a kick to the candid fruit profile. Palate again more classic, viscous with lots of sweet honey flavours.

The 2018 UGCB tasting Amsterdam 6/21/2021 (Amsterdam, Amstel Boathouse): Nice bouquet, nice medium body, sufficient fraicheur, for a while I thought I smelled a bit VA, but it disappeared quickly.

Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Amstel Boathouse, Amsterdam, NL): Slightly dull nose, good weight of tropical fruit but not very expressive, it does possess drive and length.
