Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 25, 2024 - Another showstopper. I've had some variation with this wine, but this might have been the best showing I've ever had from it. A soft cork with a slightly odd smell had me worried for a second, but that worry dissipated once I poured the first glass. All the honey, orange marmalade, crème brulée, vanilla, and tropical fruited goodness of Sauternes in spades, and that luscious richness and power of Yquem. This isn't a light dessert wine and it's not trying to be one, it's showing off its power and intensity and botrytis, and it's absolutely spectacular. Just a perfect match with canelés de Bordeaux. I can't think of many wines that mirror the flavours of a dish as perfectly as Sauternes and canelés mirror each other.
