Benriach 16 years old Sauternes Wood Finish - 70cl

Benriach 16yo Sauternes Finish (46.0%): This time I have an unofficial sample on my desk left over from a tasting we did long time ago among friends. It is a 16 year old Benriach aged in ex-bourbon barrels for almost 13 years and then transferred to Chateau d'Yquem Premier Cru Superior Sauternes wine casks for approximately 30 months. Only 1650 bottles of this expression have been released. Color: Beautiful: Shining! Polished copper, clear amber. Nose: Orange marmalade, struck matches and golden raisins. Honeysuckle, baby bananas, zante currants and Niederegger marzipan bars. Quite sulphury and adding water does not help with that problem at all... It's a little rubbery now. Latex gloves, new bicycle tires and custard just about to get bad.

Estimate:$2.20
