caveat..my first sauternes.. golden honey with a pale almost white rim.. on the nose: honey, roasted nuts, and a little VA.. blew off pretty quickly. palate: honey, Ginger, Spice maybe some baked /roasted nuts.. hint of bitterness like a walnut.. not as sweet as expected but solid.. medium plus body.. finish is long with a fair amount of acidity.. still has a long way to go.. this may be in the teenager stage.. this was opened with a coravin so the rest of the bottle will sit for a while maybe till fall and then we will see what it is like.

Medium yellow gold, not much color yet. Primary nose of peach, candied ginger, and almond, there is a slight floral note as well. Same notes on the relatively light and lively palate. Good length. Not terribly sweet, a great food wine. True to the house style. Very good with mid term development potential.

Candied pineapple, Mandarin orange and vanilla notes coalesce, supported by lively acidity. Simple and delicious.
