Nose: much more vinous, smelling like a fortified wine (like Macvin or Pineau). Better balanced I think. Nice notes of maple syrup, apricot pie, caramel- topped pears? Mouth: sweet and round attack but it?s getting harsher after a moment. Not too tannic but slightly sour. The Sauternes comes through, with ripe apricots and maybe rose-flavoured Turkish delights. Rather long finish, nicely balanced, with hints of fresh mushrooms. Again, pleasant. 80 points.
