A wood-aged sweet wine, opulent and golden. It has sweetness, honey, white fig and quince jelly flavors, balanced by just the right acidity. A superb wine, ready for long aging. It's tempting to drink it now, but wait until 2017.

Fermented in wood, this rich, sweet effort shows the roundness, rather than the flavor, of barrel maturation. It's dominated by full-bodied flavors of honey and lemon, fig and quince. The finish shows acidity, keeping this opulent wine in balance.

The Loin de l'Oeil is the local white grape of Gaillac and is very happy to produce sweet botrytized wines. This is rich, full of botrytis flavors along with fig, sultana and apricot. Age the wine for 2–3 years, but it is ready to drink now.
