Deep gold in color; orange peel, floral and sweet syrup on nose; burnt, toasty vanilla, creme brulee and hints of orange on palate. Moderate to medium finish. Certainly not the unctious, syrupy, sticky sweet d'Yquem style, but excellent none-the-less.

A very tasty sauternes indeed. Reasonably priced assuming one can get it at the community price. There are some Sonoma Valley offerings that will provide competition.

Crème brulée and marmalade nose with hints of peach and wet stone minerality. Peach preserve and cinnamon crème brulée on the palate. Notable botrytis influence not unusual for Sauternes. Nice but not overly complex. Drink now through 2020.
