  Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of pale gold colour, with fading rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with pronounced intensity aromas of citrus fruit of lemon peel and orange marmalade, green fruit of pear, stone fruit of apricot, tropical fruit of mango, sweet spice of ginger, maturity notes of honey. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Sweet with high acidity, the wine has medium (+) alcohol, full body, with medium (+) intensity flavours of citrus fruit of orange marmalade, stone fruit of apricot, dried fruit of raisin, tropical fruit of mango, oxidation notes of caramel, maturity notes of honey. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
  Conclusion: Very good quality Sauternes with a good intense nose showing nice complexity, fruity and syrupy supplementing with bits of ginger. On the palate the wine has good acidity to balance the sweetness, making it easy to drink and not too heavy, with good concentration in flavours and a good length on the finish. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 6-8 years.

  Amber hue. Aromas of dried fruit, honey, and peaches. Palate reveals apricot and orange. Very long, lasting finish. Majority Semillon (80-90%), with the remainder from Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

  complex nose; unctuous honey, pear, peach, mango and more; Lowish acidity; More to sip than drink; Great, if you like the style.

  Intens honning, mango, ekstrem friskhet og struktur til prisen - smakt Sauternes til 10 ganger prisen som er mer grøtete og oversøtt enn dette. Små hint av umami, sopp og blåmugg. Flott vin, genial til prisen.
