Pnp and served chilled. Medium+ gold-amber in colour. Nose of liquid peaches, apricots, a touch of honey with some lychees. On the palate, there are some sweet apricots with some burnt creme brulee and a bit of honey. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish. Was expecting more out of this since my last tasting of August 2016. Pretty good nonetheless.

Light-ish but fun nose of pineapple, apricot, Japanese melon candy, butterscotch, table grapes, hay, sultanas, caramel, and a hint of vegetation. Dried apricot, dried pineapple, caramel, hay, honey, and earth on the palate. Light-ish acidity, med-long but mellow finish. Delicious (of course). I liked this wine young, and I like it now. It's not a powerful or profound Sauternes, so it's less a wine to showcase on its own, than a wine to pair with a dessert.

This was less nectar, syrupy than I prefer some of my sweet wines, but a good wine. Started to shift to more brandy or sherry type notes, so was brighter in expression than dense and sweet.

Exotic notes of apricot and ripe melon on the nose. The acid is still there but is slowly weakening. Still a nice balance between sweetness and acidity. On the palate pineapple, apricot, melon, caramel. Very nice to drink now.
