I would be hard pressed to tell this apart from a Sauternes of equivalent age. Botrytis is evident, balanced acidity (despite my earlier note), and overall integrated. Looks like this has come into its own. Not the greatest pairing with lemon curd, but delicious in its own right.

Medium straw in the glass, nice viscosity in the mouth, notes of agave nectar, stone fruits and honeydew. Very pleasant and a great value for vintage late harvest juice.

Honey, apricot, butterscotch, peach marmalade. Light bodied dessert wine with decent acidity and some complexity but slightly cloying and a bit thin at room temp. Better chilled.

Burnt yellow. Confection honey and caramel notes on the nose. Thick bodied, slightly oily, sugared pineapple candy, a slight bite of acid, and a long pleasingly sweet, almost fizzy, finish. A bit syrupy, but good nonetheless.

Straw colored in the glass, nice viscosity on the palate, not too cooing or sweet, bit of acidity balances the late harvest nature with notes of honey, melon, ripe pitted fruits and a hint of vanilla.
