Tasting notes

Baked pineapple notes on the opening, this is luscious and sweet, struggles to maintain momentum/ 4.7hl/h, a tiny yield that fully explains why this is so intense and concentrated. 135g/l residual sugar, harvest October 24 to 29.

90/100

A layered Sauternes with phenolic seriousness and lovely sweetness. Light spiciness at the finish.
