From a Barsac-based producer who prefers to use the Sauternes appellation, this rich, intense wine has weight, opulence and layers of honey and botrytis flavors. While still young, it shows impressive apricot and liquorous flavors. Drink from 2022.

An almost medicinal, tart wine that certainly has the dry texture of botrytis, but then shows more in the way of a herbal character.
