A glorious example of mature Sauternes- deep honeyed bouquet with pollen notes - these come through on the palate too, ply that classic burnt match undertow on a long finish. Like drinking nectar.

1996 vintage. Medium amber. Rice pudding on the nose, ambrosia, honey, honey dew melon. On the palate, very similar to the nose. Medium plus acidity, medium body and pronounced flavour concentration. Deep and nutty on the finish. Burned caramel. Excellent.

1996 vintage. Pale Amber hue. Wonderful nose - pineapple, dried apricot, burned match reduction, honey, honey due melon. On the palette, full concentration and body. Medium plus acidity, very rich and textural. Viscous and honeyed. Marvellous length and finish.
