Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, FranceMineral, floral, buttery, egg yolk, brioche, passion fruit, pineapple nose with some leesy notes. Rich, round, concentrated but elegant with good acidity balance. Not too sweet with baked nectarine, vanilla, smoky, pineapple, egg yolk, mineral, honey flavours with some dried apricot and citrus on the finish. Good quality and value for sauternes. Drinkable now but will improve for 3-5 years. Excellent vintage in Sauternes.Tasted: 13 June 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $28.99 | 375ml | specialty listing |
