Paler than expected. Sugary and syrupy initially but that's because it's too warm. Tarte tatin all over. After chilling, it fell back together again. Temperature is so vital. Nutty and creamy. Textbook balance between sweetness and acidity. A charming nuttiness and a long, giving, enveloping generosity. Raisiny, figgy even, baked apple and pears, cinnamon toast, brioche. A very happy, pleasing wine. Utterly lovely.
Paired with a foie gras app and then Creme brûlée forget dessert. It’s a beautiful wine, but not quite as viscous and sweet tasting as the young Sauternes I tend to pair with these dishes.
