Apricot and honey on the nose. Medium bodied, beautifully balanced and well made from start to finish: sweet, but not cloying. Mild oak and limestone minerality, just enough acidity. Clean, botrytis free finish, agree with previous reviewer (maybe that's why it is less oily and more "refeshing?")

Excellent - bought this wine on deep discount... it's perfect, exactly what it should be; a Sauterne Slayer - Better than most any Sauterne. Apricot, honey, fig, reduced melon, botrytis, smoke, spice/clover/jasmin.... great balance and structure...not cloying or obtrusively sweet.

A medium gold color. Aromas of apricots, orange blossoms, and vanillin. Flavors of apricots, orange marmalade, honey and vanillin. Little or no botrytis. Rich and creamy, with a honey-like sweetness in the mouth. A long lingering finish. An excellent pairing with foie gras and liver pate.

Clear deep golden with dense tears. Clean medium+ intensity developing nose, bitter orange marmalade, glue, apricots, honey and vanilla. Lusciously sweet, medium+ refreshing acidity, delicate medium alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity juicy flavours, orange marmalade, apricot, citrus and honey, mouthcoating, good harmonious balance. Long aftertaste of medium+ intensity. Very good quality, can drink now, but has potential for ageing.

Fresh dessert wine. I liked the low alcohol and firm acidity
