Wine Folly Notes
There are actually no notes on this wine in the textbook so I found some notes from a website to substitute. Petit Manseng wines are very sweet wines as the grapes are high in sugar. The flavors are normal flavors of sweet dessert wines such as apricot, cinnamon, apples, and a touch of minerality.

My Review
So a backstory on how I came into contact with this wine. I was at dinner with my parents partaking in my upcoming wine dinner blog, and when we got home my mom pulled this wine out of the cellar saying she tried a bottle somewhere and loved it so much and pulled the trigger on a full case which has been sitting in the basement for over a decade. The wine from this vineyard is harvested from grapes that are left on the vine until almost too ripe, leaving much residual sugar. This wine has a deep amber color and to me tastes heavily of honey and apples. You can not really smell the honey in the smell but can smell the apples. Amazing wine to get.
