This is back to the great Guiraud I tasted out of barrel. A simple honeyed, butterscotch nose with moderate definition. Opening up in the glass, nice mineral aromas in there, a touch of quince, white flowers, honeysuckle and a touch of quince. Ends up having good definition. The palate is medium-bodied, quite elegant and well poised with good acidity with a minerally, well-crafted honey, crème-brulee and fresh apricot tinged finish. Sophisticated and classy. Drink 2010-2030. Tasted January 2009.
