Weekly tasting group #193; some Bordeaux (@ My place): Concentrated bouquet with a lot of apricots and caramel. Same on the palate. Beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity. Beautiful freshness and although very sweet, not really sticky. Can last for many more years.

Dorato tendente al ramato. Al naso zafferano, latte di fico, albicocca, ginger, frutta tropicale. Bocca intensa, note di crema pasticcera e caramello. Manca un pò di freschezza

Golden color. Saffron, apricot, dried figs, iodine on the nose. Mouth is very sweet, but a good mineral verve keeps it somehow in balance. Slightly bitter finish.

Christmas Eve Dinner and Wine: I still think this is showing a little weird. Very high residual sugar (much higher then the 96 Guiraud) and very low acidity. Viscous like motor oil and massive flavors of honey and flowers. Almost overbearing. Very good, but a tough match to food in my opinion. Would probably not buy again.
