Solid, straight to the point Sauternes. Not overly complex but good amount of dried yellow fruits, honey, some oak tannins (almost beechwood-y?) and grippy minerality and acidity. Probably gonna be an early drinker, within the next 5 years for sure.

Clear deep gold; clean medium plus nose of candied apricots and honey; sweet; medium plus acidity; medium alcohol; full body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate follows nose with addition of caramel; medium plus finish; drink now; lovely and unctuous but without the precision, tension and complexity that one finds in a good Sauternes; part of Treadwell’s NYE tasting menu

Simple and pleasant. Loaded with lemon curd with a little spice. Will hold several years before trying again.

Rich and opulent, with strong honey, apple, and pineapple notes. Tastes like a rich fruit dessert.

Maybe a bit oxidized. Fruit and sugar but an odd finish. opened up nicely with apricot, honey. and smoother.
