1988 Domaine du Puch Monbazillac

Domaine du Puch François Delaville Monbazillac is a delightful dessert wine from the Monbazillac region in South West France. Here are some tasting notes for this wine:

Appearance: It typically has a golden amber color, which is quite inviting

Nose: The aroma is rich and complex, featuring notes of honey, apricot, and dried fruits, often with hints of floral and citrus undertones.

Palate: On the palate, it is sweet and luscious, with flavors of ripe peaches, honey, and a touch of vanilla. The wine is well-balanced with a good acidity that prevents it from being overly sweet.

Finish: The finish is long and smooth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of honey and dried fruits.

Monbazillac wines are known for their use of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes, giving the wine its distinctive sweetness and complexity
