What a good Sauternes does (and this is very good) is have that wonderful push-and-pull between intense sweetness and definitive acid.
It means that you're flooded with heady apricot, marmalade and honey characters, all touched celestially with flowers, then brought up straight with judicious fruit acid, a perennial balancing act of exquisite tension that plays on as the exotic flavours, aromas and textures envelop your senses.
Almost as good as a Hungarian Tokaji Aszú from 2000.
And for NZ$ 49 - it is a steal for it.
