  June 16, 2020 - Pitch perfect aged Sauternes. Great acid, sweet but not cloying, wonderful sense of age but clearly decades left - terrific.

  December 9, 2019 - Terrific acidity, balanced by appropriate sweetness, drinking just right at the moment. Unlikely to improve, but certainly will hold a decade or more.

  January 29, 2019 - Dinner with the wine group (Zazie's, San Francisco): Excellent color for its age; high intensity aromatics, dried apricot, nice lightness, slight salinity; palate is medium bodied, light, elegant, slight salinity, some sweetness but very moderated; medium finish. Not the most complex, but this heads into Hudak’s stage 4 and is beautiful in its balance and classic maturity. 91
  Day 3: still a pretty wine and excellent freshness and acidity. Hasn’t fallen off at all. Lovely.
