Domaine Dillon Clarendelle Amberwine Monbazillac 2003 (50cl)

A sweet white wine from Monbazillac in south-west France, from the 2003 vintage and bottled in a 50cl bottle. Sweet wines from this region usually carry rich honeyed sweetness balanced by acidity, and with this much bottle age they typically take on a deeper, more amber-toned, dried-fruit character. Bottles this old vary from one to the next. Half bottles like this are practical, as sweet wine is poured in small glasses and finished in one sitting. Serve it properly chilled with blue cheese, foie gras, or a mango or almond dessert at the end of a family dinner.
