  a great combo of verve, sweet, minerality and acidity makes this a lovely drink. even more acidity would make it better. it has a lovely mouthfeel, reminiscent of suede and i quite enjoyed rolling this around my mucous membranes. flavors of flowers and baked apples with a long finish. delicious.

  lovely and perfumed nose of pear and white flowers
  mouth - rich, sweet, unctuous, reminiscent of the sugary syrup that comes along with canned fruit. if you like desert wines this could be right up your alley displaying a fresher quality than a sauternes. for me it lacks the requisite acidity to make it really interesting. i'll be interested to hold this for 10 years and see what becomes of it.
