Rather simple creation. Lacks botrytis the presence of which was expected in a wine from Sauternes. Being just sweet and tasty is not enough in this price category. Sugar is cheap.

Tasted from a quarter bottle left in the fridge since July (3 months ago). Unbelievably the colour showed no darkening, bouquet subdued but on the palate it was still super fresh. Unbelievable. This will last centuries.
Golden colour. Gorgeous sultana and honey flavours. Rich, mouth-coating palate with some lively acidity. Long, lovely legs. Finished clean with a surprisingly dry finish. Perfect time to drink.

Golden to amber. Great intense bouquet with botrytise, honey and saffron. Smooth with good acidity and relatively high sweetness. Long finish. Perfect balance.
