My first foray into Sauternes and man, what an entrance! Beautiful honey and pear notes on the palate, undergirded by a lovely backbone of acidity. Gorgeous wine.

At Wine Group Dinner 203, Harveys Bistro - 2009 Left Bank. This opened very well with a deep golden colour with copper edges and a rich nose of blood orange, apricot conserve, pineapples and leatherwood honey. The palate has beautiful richness and purity with a lovely persistent finish of toast, butter and leatherwood honey that covers a spine of citrus acidity that is perhaps a little softer than previous bottles. Overall this is a delicious bottle of Sauternes.

Great wine, from a half bottle. Lots of complexity and depth of flavor. Honey, white chocolate and caramel. Nectarine, pear and bloodorange. Almonds, oats and buttery cookiedough. Exquisite balance, luscious sweetness, fresh acidity and spicy bitterness. Deeeelicious now!
