Medium golden color. Intense and amazing nose of exotic fruits, roses and spices. On the palate this has "dried out" nicely and seems only modestly sweet with great concentration and a fairly long finish.
Golden-amber color. Slightly acetone nose with aromas of citrus, apricots, and a little note of caramel. The palate had flavors of apricot, golden raisins, and a hint of butterscotch. Medium-long finish. Lovely example of an aged Sauternes.
Beautiful dark golden/orange color. Unfortunately, the nose had a dominant cork scent, but that was less obvious on the palate, which revealed a very smooth mixture of orange pineapple and peach with a fairly long caramel finish.

Light yellow color. Generous nose of apricot and honey. The wine is sweet, but balanced with a racy finish. Delicious with our foie gras appetizers.

Very intense and delicious earthy, flowery nose. The palate was not as strong as the nose, but still excellent. Charming!
