Sichel
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blend
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Very nice. Typical Sauternes with nice balance and vibrant fruit. Needs to age a little.

Nose: White grape juice, pineapple, perhaps a dash of guava (?), orange blossom, caramel, yogurt, gentle flowers (white, fruity flowers), white tea, honeycomb, graham crackers. Smooth, much less acid than expected. Honestly just tastes like a sweet white wine. I am less impressed than I expected. Good, not superb. Tastes like honey, pear, pineapple, marshmallow (vanilla), gentle acidity, a little bitterness, short finish. Kind of disappointed, I love Sauternes. This is atypical.
