Critics' Opinion: WA - 93/100, WE - 95/100, CT - 91/100
Appearance: Golden
yellow.
Aroma: Fresh
exotic ripe fruits, mango, pineapple, pear. Blossom and honeysuckle.
Toasty.
Palate: Creme brulee
perhaps as ones may say. Spices like ginger. Rich on the palate. Sweet but fresh
and bright with vibrant acidity. Long on the finish.
It boomed with marvelous expression. Everything so far
during the meal was wiped out of mind at the very first sip of this luscious
beauty. When I was thinking about just a small to go along with dessert, this
moelleux completely changed my mind: this whole bottle must be done among us.
The beauty came power and class. Yes, the deep mouth-feel and the structure were
there but freshness balanced out well. Did not feel that heavy despite 12.5%
alcohol at all. In fact, a small plate of foie gras will be nice, otherwise,
aperitif will do just fine. Sadly, it was the only bottle I had. Wish I could
grab much more back to stock up. It should be at its drinking window now. Just
grab them if you like sweet wine.
