A sweet wine made from raisined grapes affected by noble rot, harvested by hand in successive sortings, this straw-yellow wine is astonishing for its freshness and superb complexity. On the palate, it is both lively and unctuous. This excellent wine for laying down offers a suave bouquet of candied fruit, honey and spices.
