WTDS at Kevin's: This wine was dominated by oranges, tangerines and sugar.....too much sugar. Unfortunately, the acidity needed to balance out this wine was lacking. It will satisfy a sweet tooth, but lacks in every other respect. I much prefer Sauternes. I have a few more bottles, and hope this was just bottle variation (but somehow, I don't think so). This wine may please some people's palate, and I could see serving to non-wine people, but this wine did not suit my palate. Obviously, in my book, this wine did not fit the theme!

WTDS Wednesday Afternoon (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very deep amber color - advanced. Tasted from 375ml. Lots of orange on the nose and palate, honeyed texture, but very cloyingly sweet. Candied. Nothing to balance that sweetness. Hard to drink after the '01 De Malle Sauternes which was very nice again on day 2.
