Natalie's Score: 95/100

Gorgeously seductive aromas and flavour of honey, pear preserves, quince jelly and apricot blossom. Luscious, rich and round with a mouth-filling texture and a hedonistic length that keeps on giving. Beautiful cinnamon sprinkled apple pie cooling on a country cottage window on the finish.

Sauternes food pairings: silky lingerie.

Reviews and Ratings

Malcolm Lamont - WSET Adv, CSW rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Deep golden colour for this 'noble rot' produced nectar. Strong aromas of honey, orange blossom, and just a bit of carasene (in a pleasant way). Mouth filling texture and immensely sweet. Added flavours include pear and melon.
All in all a lovely offering for the desert wine inclined!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
