Pale straw color; nose of lemon rind, butter, vanilla. Moderate acid, silky, decent length. This is Sauternes just the way I like it - obviously a dessert wine but decidedly not cloying or oversweet. Rich mouthfeel and an overall theme of citrus with great length. Excellent value at this price point. Enjoyed with some blue cheese though this could be quite versatile for pairing.

[this may sound crazy] Smells of helium balloon and legos... Tastes exactly like ginger candy, with apricot and saffron finish. Super interesting – probably have to add 5-7 points on top of this rating on the intrigue

Honey, candied pineapple, candied orange, with some floral notes on the nose. A little hint of a smoky note too. Young but tasty
