  Distinctly orange colour, head to rust; rather chunky, blunt nose, cheddar cheese rind; foursquare, sweet, fat, clumsy. Lacks any refinement, some power. Best drunk soon.

  6/4/2016 - Ombibulous Likes this wine:

  A fine Sauternes deep orange colour (a Sauternes is ready to drink when it turns from yellow to orange) and flavours of candied orange, apricot, and orange zest. $30 for the half bottle, so this is quite a treat.

  Palate: honey, spice, botrytis, dried fruit, apricots, some citrus, good acidity.
  Summary: 91 p.

  Bibendum Bordeaux tasting (Lord's Cricket Ground - London): Honeyed tones, marmalade and great acidity. Good substance, however compared to the other Sauternes on show here, not quite as focused and maybe loses a bit of structure.

  Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2004 Tasting (The Drake): Full yellow color. Subdued lemon oil yellow fruit nose. Quite sweet and round on the palate with some spice.
