Description
A luscious, golden-hued Sauternes that dazzles with its complexity. Aromas of honey, apricot, and candied orange leap from the glass, mingling with hints of vanilla and toasted almond. On the palate, it’s rich and velvety, with layers of ripe peach, marmalade, and a touch of saffron. The acidity is vibrant, balancing the sweetness, while a long, honeyed finish lingers with a whisper of spice. A stunning, age-worthy treasure. 14%abv
