Light gold yellow color. Intense citrusy tropical fruit aromas and good structure. Moderately sweet but not cloying with good acidity. This was way too young to drink at this point in its evolution but it was a crowd pleaser!

Konsentrert, intens, frisk, søt. Viser mere tørket frukt enn jeg hadde forventet fra en Suaternes på demme alderen. Flott vin, men jeg hadde ikke forventet at den var så utviklet. Svært intens og lang. Flott vin.

A great Sauternes showing very well already! Surprisingly showing more color darkening than my 2006s. Apricots, canned peaches, honey, candied pineapple, crème brûlé. Really great with a decent amount of acidity. This can age for a really long time still

Deep golden colour with a wide rainy, translucent rim.
On the nose, it is filled with honey, golden raisins, apricots, toffee, crème burlee, along with hints of grape fruit and orange peels.
On the palate, this is quite unctuously sweet and rich, and is balanced by a good deal of acidity. It is dense and coats the mouth greatly. Tropical fruit notes of pineapples and peaches are nicely balanced with the creamy toffee and crème burlee notes, with a medium finish.
I do prefer a longer finish, but overall, this is sweet, rich, and dense, and is balanced by the acidity. Delicious.

Excellent. Crem Brûlée, honey, candied pear & oranges. Thick viscosity & velvet mouthfeel. Medium length finish. Not overly sweet due to nice acidity.
