  Taste of medium coloured honey, also some light pear. Some kind of lemonish bitterness in the ending.
  
  Medium body, absolutlely not a super sweet soutern whine.
  
  The texture of the liquid is waterish not oily or fat in the glass.
  
  Lack of complexity, waterish in texture.
  
  Sorry, but I wished for more!

  Wow, honestly I was blown away by this wine again. Consistently I will give my same grade as my last 750 of this. This wine is just so good and honestly this vintage to me rivals and if not surpasses many D’Qyeum vintages I’ve had for a considerably better value.

  Fabulous All Sauternes Tasting Dinner: Part Trois (Brad's Place, St. Paul, MN): Medium gold color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. Viscous, honey, orange cream, apple, honeysuckle, creme brulee and sweet spice on the nose. The palate replicates the nose with its not overly sweet and balanaced charcter, spice, shaved nuts and decadent character. Bright and wonderful. Love this, always have, and I probably am undervaluing it as it is I had it so many times over so many years. 94+ to 95pts.

  The last time I had this was in 2017. I was wondering how it would hold up. I don't recall how it tasted back then (too much wine on New Year's Eve) but it sure is excellent now. Almond, a hint of apricot, honey, and menthol on the nose. Viscous mouthfeel, some heat on the back end and a very long finish. Butterscotch, caramel and dried apricot flavors predominate. Really lovely.
