appears beautiful medium dark gold, smell slight nectar, dried banana chips, at times bug spray, soft, with air, bit of peach and honey, mouthfeel quite thick and meaty, but impressively smooth, taste pear/honey at first, soft flavor, smoky at times, clean tart lime finish, bit of grapefruit seeds on finish as well, annoying alcoholic pepperness lurking around that grew after a couple of days—rather similar to the pleasant warm burn I have with scotch, but it most certainly did not work well here, okay wine—brought nice elements together, but quite frankly nothing ambitious about it for me and, alas, nothing memorable

Drinking perfectly. Excellent acidity especially compared to the Sauterne. Light golden color. I think it's fully mature at this point.

Caramel, average length, not especially complex. Not memorable, but ok.
