  Smells of sugared orange, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel apple. There is also caramelised onion or mushroom which is what usually upsets me about sweet wines. Lemon marmalade, orange soda, white peach, warm honey, orange cookie.
  Juicy in the palate with acidity despite the high sugar. Orange marmalade, grapefruit, green apple, confiture, apple syrup, dried apricot. Lemon soda finish, slight candy.
  8+/18

  Bastille Days - Tours de France; 7/14/2023-7/16/2023: (from 375ml bottle).
  
  gold colour and moderately viscous in the glass. the nose is a lovely melange of tropical fruit, sweet spices and fresh flowers and lead directly into those luscious flavours in the mouth, where a delightful citric acidity lifts and delineates them. guava, mango, apricot, peach, clove, ginger, lime zest, and other flavours play out with the just-waxy honey botrytis core. good concentration and agreable sweetness with a long finish.
  
  it seems to just be hitting its stride and should continue to drink well for another decade or so. definite upside potential on this one.
  
  13.5% AbV; 100% Semillon (!); eighteen months in French oak.

  Bu avec un Lieutenant. Liège de luxe (vs comprimé) Robe dorée et concentrée (Lt plus claire mois sur l'or). Nez de macaron, coco, miel, le coco se dissipe après une bonne aération. Bouche puissante, longue, touche de sucre brun, sauce HP, agrumes et miel. (Le Lt. est plus précis selon nous).

  Bu en demi.
  Sur la pêche et le caramel salé.
  Pas mal ample et sucré, une impression
  de dattes et de figues en millieu de bouche.
  Pas leplus long mais sans accroc.
  Très bon.

  Demie bouteille. Robe jaune légèrement dorée. Nez: ananas, marmelade, petite touche de bois. Bouche fidèle au nez avec une bonne concentration, du sucre d’orge, de l’ananas. Belle complexité et relativement digeste. Très Barsac dans le style. Au début de sa phase d’évolution et sera à son apogée d’ici 3-5 ans. Ceci dit, n’hésitez pas à ouvrir une bouteille dès maintenant si, comme moi, vous aimez vos sauternes autour de 10 ans.
