Like it's 2016 counterpart I found this wine terrific. Reminds me of the experience I had with a haut Brion blanc in its smoothness and round flavor profile. Aromatic nose of lemon dominated citrus notes. On the palette the wine is all melon and peaches. Finish is back to lemon rind with lingering dried mango.

I opened this bottle to use for cooking fish and then decided to have a glass since it was opened. I was very pleasantly surprised. Expressive, floral nose. Lavender, hibiscus, lilac, honey. Nicely balanced and good acidity. Drink chilled, it gets a little sweet as it warms.

Last bottle. Will need to get some more from a later vintage. I had 2020 down as the last year of the drink window for this one, but it was not tired.

I have always liked the style of Honig SB. This vintage is no exception. Very balanced. Great value.
