Honey in a glass. You had better enjoy sweetness.

Was the 1st dessert wine we tried to rate, which was a little difficult as our prior experience was a couple of bottles for supermarket sauternes. Lovely yellow golden hue, with chrysanthemum, jasmine a touch of mineral on the nose. Sweet but not coying, tasting of light treacle and maple syrup. Some acidity which makes it rather refreshing. We enjoyed it as a lovely, simple dessert wine.

An expensive (overpriced?) treat at £15 but at the angels' price I'd say this is good value given the extra 20cl compared to many other dessert wines. Not syrupy, sickly sweet like many dessert wines - some people have said this is "thin", I'd say his is just how it should be rather than that horrible £4 a bottle Spainish stuff you get at the off-licence. A lovely aroma of elderflower water which continues on the palate, with jut a slight touch of acidity, makes this a real pleasure. Well done Dominique!

I really enjoyed this well chilled on a warm summers day. Fabulous nose of sultanas and lychee and a delicious palate with just a lick of acidity.
Not the most complex wine but as a summer aperitif it was very enjoyable.

Smells of tinned fruits (pears and peaches); nose is honeyed and sweet which unsurprisingly carries through on the palate. Wine drinks cleanly and isnt cloying (more like icing sugar than golden syrup) but is rather thin and lacks depth. The burst of sweetness is not balanced by any tangible acidity, leading to a rather unbalanced wine. This may sound stupid but it tastes fortified (spirit-like); I've had other VDNs that have managed to hide the alcoholic addition. Was unimpressed with this wine, and at £15, is not brilliant value.
