This iconic dessert wine from Sauternes combines lush sweetness with remarkable acidity. Flavors of apricot, honey and saffron are balanced beautifully, making it a perfect pairing for rich desserts or blue cheese.

Pale gold. Knockout aromas of creme brulee, coconut, vanilla bean, honey and orange peel. Lush and seductively silky in the mouth; its creamy, seamless texture makes it seem deceptively accessible today but sound acid structure should keep it going for 20 years or more. Not hugely sweet or tropical but very complex and fine. Firm, hazelnutty finish offers great length, if not quite the grip of the '89.
