Vintage Cellar Tasting - Caprice

Name: Caprice
Variety: Semillon, sauvignon blanc, muscadelle
Region: Sauternes
Country: France
Year: 2004
Price: $7.95
Shop Review: 60% semillon, 36% sauvignon blanc, 4% muscadelle.  Very clean, with lemon, mineral, and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body.  Shows vanilla, apple, and melon flavors, with a medium finish.  Lightly sweet.
My Review: The smell of this wine was appley with hints of bananas.  Nice light smell.  The flavors of this wine were likely literally pure candy, like honey mixed with a lot of sugar.  Now normally I'm not into sweet stuff, but something about this one was just so good.  I don't know what they are talking about in the shop review about lightly sweet, cause this stuff is like pure sugar.  I bought it cause I'm feeling like a sugar rush is in order.
No food, would probably go good with more candy...
