Amber color, crystal clear.
Honey, clove / cinnamon. tart apples, caramel nose
tart apple, spicey palate. a little coffee, off dry, not overpoweringly sweet.
Good finish, 30 seconds or so. Very good. I'd drink it again.

Tasted at my 45th birthday party on February 19th, 2005.

I have no idea how long this wine was decanted. The same taster brought this wine and the 2001 Château Lamothe-Guignard Sauternes, but I am not sure if he opened it in the limo or at home.

Orange and tea no the nose, this wine did not fell as heavy as the Sauternes that proceeded it. Much lighter, but well balanced, it had a spicy caramel palate, finishing with a slight note of cinnamon and other spices. Definitely not as sweet as the Sauternes, it was very enjoyable, and a lighter note on which to complete the evening.
