Château Loupiac-Gaudiet, Loupiac 2016, France

Tasting Note: A creamy and eminently-approachable dessert wine that has all those golden-fruit notes one appreciates in a sweet Bordeaux.

Medium-intensity gold in color, this wine has an aromatic, pronounced-intensity nose of dried apple, marmalade, apricot, lilac, honeysuckle and white nectarine.

On the palate the sweet, medium-plus-bodied white blend has medium-plus-intensity, dried-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium-plus acidity and completing with a long finish.

The wine is creamy and mouthcoating in texture with complexity along the midpalate.

An easy bottle to finish quickly.
