K&L Charity Event. Poor man's sauterne. Nose of sweet melon, Jonathan apple, and pear juice, more of the same on the palate, touch of honey character adds some complexity, medium body, elegance and finesse, medium finish.

How could I not compare this to a Sauternes while consuming the bottle? Unfortunately, it doesn't quite measure up. Straw color. Candied apple and peach/apricot on the nose. Similar palate. Not particularly complex. Enjoyable, but not outstanding. Good acidity, though. Well balanced. Unctuous, almost oily texture.

Distinctive aroma of baked apples with this little bottle. Plenty of sweetness without being cloying. A little acid zip on the finish. A great way to finish steak night.

Enjoyable bottle of wine with desert with balance tending toward the sweet side. Fill level was low but the bottle was intact.
