Decent but unremarkable. Poor QPR.

This was a very pleasant wine, but for $27 you can pick up a better low-end Sauternes. There just isn't the same acidity, botrytis, and overall complexity. The real appeal to this wine is in the fresh fruit quality, so i also don't think this is really worthy of aging.

Initially struck by the bitterness which was a bit off-putting to my friends. We did not finish the bottle (telling) but that allowed me to revisit it over the next 5 days (not every day.) It grew on me. Complexity is there - tropical fruits, honey, bitter tea, acidity. It works but for some reason it is not thrilling - perhaps it is the intensity. Not sure but perhaps more age will unify the wine. It was a worthwhile experience …

Honey, lemon, pineapple, and almonds. Very nice. Nose not so pronounced – the action is all on the palate. Despite the hyperbole from Garagiste, this isn't going to make Sauternes producers run for cover...
