The first bottle of my two. Let's start! Seductive intense pure gold color. On the nose the wine is concentrated with medium+ aromas of yellow flowers, dried apricot, honey and wax. From time to time this composition becomes less syrup and there is some cream vanilla and butter with the aroma complex of good aged white wine. On the palate the wine is medium+ to full-bodied, with good, but not high acidity, good structure and concentrated characteristics what we feel in aroma. Medium+ aftertaste. Nice.

For a humble Sauternes, this showed quite well against an apple crumb ring. Drinking well young but should have some life ahead as well. Tropical fruit flavors in a relatively lightweight package, but not lacking in flavor intensity.

Youthful, but perfect with the Italian Cream Cake, with cream cheese, coconut frosting and vanilla ice cream. Pineapple, tropical fruits, vanilla, and high acidity paired perfectly with the dessert. Primary at this juncture but should develop for another 10-15+ years. Drink or hold.

Deep gold color. Aromas of honey, apricot, pear, canteloupe. Balanced, high acidity. Taste of honey, apricot, grapefruit.

Sunday lunch with the Wine-Ark boys (Porcine, Oxford Street): A smidge of wood glue, apricot over marmalade. Served very cold, tangy, bitter oranges. Hmm.
