So... Stephen and I decided to open a wine tonight and thought we'd clear out one of the older ones we have had for awhile. So we looked and this 2005 french vouvray looked delicious and seemed like it was getting too old for a white. We opened it and loved it! Decided to look it up online and HOLY COW this was an expensive wine! Of course we didn't even notice the sticker on the bottle that said it was 64.99, so here we are drinking probably one of the top 5 most expensive wines we own for no reason. We got it so long ago we didn't even remember. *sigh*
Oh well. Anyway, now that we are drinking it, the wine really is delicious. As I said, we looked it up online and it got 95 and 96 points from wine spectator and wine advocate. It is a sweet white wine with peach and honey notes and a heavier texture than I would expect. It's creamy and very fruit forward. It is a full alcohol wine at 13.3%, but very, very soft and not at all alcoholic tasting.
This is an overall fantastic wine, and although I do not blog often, I had to get on here right away and do this nice wine some justice.
Pictrues to come.
