Sauternes

[TheEngineer]

I would agree with Brappy. Sauternes should not taste like rubbing alcohol. It should instead have a thick consistency with tastes of honey, apricot, etc,.... and a long lingering finish. IT IS ALSO VERY PLEASANT!!! I would try another producer. For $20, there are others but good sauternes tends to cost a wee bit more. Some very decent bottles from an excellent 2001 vintage can start at $25 and great ones start at $35.
