2nd growth Sauternes, .375ml bottle shared w friends. Lanolin, liqueur soaked apple, acid forms almost miraculously at end of the long finish. End cap to a fine 3 course meal, cooked & served by culinary students at a local university. Paired perfectly to a deconstructed Tarte tartin & Vietnamese cinnamon ice cream- wowza!

Deep golden color. Beautiful aromas of apricots, dried blonde figs, candied orange peel and honey. Apricot, pineapple and honey flavors fill the palate with hints of clementine, mango, sweet spices and candied ginger. Nice touch of salty preserved lemon on the finish. Mouth coating finish. Enough acidity to cut through all the sweetness. Rich and quite fresh tasting. Outstanding QPR!
