WineO Mark Review

This wine has a dark yellow color on the glass. Its aroma is filled with apricot, peach, pineapple, vanilla, and honey with slight notes of nuts and wood.

It’s medium to full-bodied and has a well-balanced sweetness and acidity. On the palate, there are flavors of pear, apple, apricot, peach, and melon. There are also hints of orange marmalade, ginger, and honey creating a flavorful and long finish.

This is a good Sauternes French wine especially for the price!
