Community Tasting Note

  August 9, 2015 - #DCInvasion (Chicago, IL): What a fun little bottle of Sauternes. I wonder if all 09s are this tasty... this showed a lot of botrytis spice, coupled with lots of fresh sweet and candied stone fruit. I was really struck by how light and fresh this was -- no sign of heaviness whatsoever, though the back end may have been afflicted by just a slight tinge of alcoholic heat. We openly wondered why we don't drink these with meals more often, but I think they do come off a little bit richer for more common everyday meals, and for the same amount of sugar and 2/3 the alcohol, you could grab a Spaetlese instead...
