Sweet but not heavy. Tropical fruit, canned peaches, honey, a touch of riverbank and herbs. Not particularly mineral, which threw me off - I didn't even think Loire until the label was revealled. Maybe 19 years will do that to a wine. Round and beautifully balanced, with enough acidity to keep the sweetness in check. You can feel the age, but in a good way. Drinking perfectly right now.
