2003 Philippe Delesvaux Coteaux Du Layon St. Aubin Clos De La Guiberderie Delesvaux $29.00 WS92

Philippe Delesvaux
Coteaux Du Layon St. Aubin Clos De La Guiberderie

Quite open-knit, but with lush apple, fig, persimmon and marzipan notes and a long, sweet, honeyed finish. Outstanding for its exotic range of flavors, though I'm not convinced it has the spine for long-term aging. Drink now through 2008. 750 cases made. –JM
