  Palate:
  It was fine, good acid, nice apricot, not as sweet as some sauternes, no real dried fruits yet.

  Gifted by good friend Agelvis.....enjoyed after dinner with Mr/Mrs HMC.....slightly chilled, pnp'd but then allowed to come to room temp over 2 hours, as we drank. Nice lighter orange tint to the wine. Nose reeks of honeysuckle and other white flowers, and reeks is a very good term here! Medium weight in the mouth with honeycomb, grilled peaches or maybe apricots and a slight viscous component, not syrupy in the least. There is a faint taste on the ending that I can't quite place. Maybe indicative of the age? A very nicely drinking aged Sauterne.....thanks, J!

  PNP. Let’s of honeysuckle and creme brûlée on the nose. Super smooth, viscous, sweet palate.

  PNP. Amber color. Pumpkin, raisin, honey, sweet potato, and hard boiled egg on the nose. Smooth, sweet palate, with nice acidity.

  Drank this at our home Frasca dinner during Boulder Burgundy Fest.
  Lovely! Like so many of my sauternes have been.
  
  Color is a nice gold.
  On the nose...you can smell it immediately...it smells like saffron! The spice combined with the sweet apricot flavor was really interesting and delightful. On the way down it was a bit more harsh than others I have tried but still delicious.
