Euchre night (R&D's): Apparently we needed yet another half bottle to extend the evening, but so it is when everyone is having a good time. Light youthful appearance with an abundance of stone fruit to go along with marmalade, honeysuckle, pineapple and mango qualities. The tropical qualities here are very nice. A lovely little Sauternes that is drinking well at this early stage. (R&D)

From 375mL. Youthful golden; aromatic, floral, peach, apricot, orange blossom; palate is medium-full bodied, nice freshness throughout with some minerality, elegant throughout, orange blossom again, medium (13.5%) alcohol, a bit short through the midpalate; finish is medium length. Overall nice, youthful, aromatic, more floral than tropical, showing just a touch of alcohol but overall reasonably well balanced even if a bit short on length. 89, would likely age longer but I've drank all my bottles now. 89 Really nice, great character, relatively fresh, well balanced, love the florals. 90

Liquid sugar! A most generous apricot nose, yet not without hints of botrytis, the pit of the apricot and candle wax. A heavy, sweet body and long finish dried out with mild notes of bitter botrytis. Only light acidity…sweeter than most desserts…

From a half bottle. Decent balance, with some freshness. Nice delicate fruit but not very concentrated so comes across a bit sugary.
