Sunday, July 15, 2018 - Sexy & focused. Drank with friends at La La Tour d'Argent in Paris with foie gras appetizer, then finished at dessert with cheese.

Fully mature beautiful clear corn syrup color, called topaz by sommelier David Ridgway.

Laser precision nose of apricot, lychee and light honey, it lacked the caramel viscous weight one usually associates with aged Sauternes but was lightweight and delicious.

Dancing on the palate, the finish wasn't one, but rather a World Series game 7 in the 12th inning.

if a date, this was a sexy intellectual Harvard MBA McKinsey consultant turned afternoon sex kitten plaything you don't want to let go, Ever.

AAA+ Enjoyment to treasure now but easily has 20 years ahead.
