On the palate the wine is medium sweet, with medium(-) acidity, low alcohol, and a medium body. The flavour intensity is medium. Flavours are mostly primary characteristics of floral notes (honeysuckle), citrus fruit (ripe grapefruit, ripe lemon), and green fruit (green apple). The texture is oily, the wine has medium(+) length.
This is a very good quality wine since it has good complexity, the alcohol is integrated well, and the finish has very good (medium-plus) length. To be considered being of outstanding quality the wine would require greater complexity and even better length. The wine will keep for a number of years, but is not expected to improve, and in that sense is not suitable for further aging in bottle.

Quite one dimensional towards sweetness. Slight muscat hints in the finish. Lack of acid/freshness.

Good flavor. Definitely has a muscat style aftertaste as expected. Still lighter than many other French options like Sauternes.
