Ripe, elegant and mature with excellent oxidized flavors of ripe apricot and cumquat, chalky minerals and a lovely floral spice. Finishes grippy and taut with a succulence and complex notes of chalky minerals and limestone. Yum!

Opened 3 plus hours before drinking. Showed so well - very clean and fresh aromas that blend creamy yellow fruit and oxidative notes and minerals and harmonize so well, and the bouquet really is wonderful. The palate too - complex with smoke and mineral and toffee and great focus and drive.

This has a color of older Sauternes and its a bit cloudy. Strong nose of grilled nuts, varnish, dried apricots and smoky minerals. Quite intensey-flavored with tangy ripe tangerine and apricot fruit and an obvious oxidized component that adds complexity and a "cream soda" note. Finishes quite grippy with strong hints of minerals and orange spice. This is nicely mature and really delicious with cheese.

Needed a good hour to open up. Wonderful oxidized nose of sherry, varnish and cream soda. Intense and high in acidity but balanced by deeply oxidized but fresh flavors of dried apricots, apples, quince, clove and other spices. Finishes long and intense with an incredible juiciness and crisp minerals. Wow!
