COMMENTS
This exceptional wine is dedicated to Aimé Cazes, father of André and Bernard Cazes, who showed them how to make great natural sweet wines. Time has done its work. It has been enriched with multiple aromas: green walnut, bitter orange, fig, dried apricot, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom... flavours that linger in an atmosphere of fatness and smoothness. It will open out in a large glass at a temperature of 15°, preferably with foie gras, oriental spice desserts or a choice Habano.
