| Tasting note |
Soft creamy apricot nose with notes of lemon and fresh apples. Good acidity on the rich, quite opulent palate with candied orange peel, honey and marmalade. Moderate levels of botrytis with fine balance on the finish. Very fine. Tasted again after bottling at the UGC in October 2005. The nose lacks the intensity of other Sauternes/Barsacs with faint aromas of apple, lemon and an odd scent of brie? The palate is much better with layers of honeyed fruit and orange peel. Very good level of botrytis but it is a little disjointed at the moment. Needs a bit more time to sort itself out. |
