Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 22, 2021 - I will add my name to the long list of reviewers noting a little bit of this goes a long way. The recommendation is to pour 1 - 1 1/2 ounces (think shot glass). I love Sauternes, but don't drink Port. This took some study time for me, because of the unique characteristics of the wine.

Aromatically this ultra concentrated bottling predominated with alcohol, ripe fig, balsamic, prune, and madeira like hazelnut and toffee notes. My daughter-in-law also picked up hints of soy sauce. On the palate, this is an oily wine with figs, prunes, balsamic, nuts, burnt toffee, and a mildly acidic citrus like finish.

Five drinkers in our group, and overall impressions were favorable. The reading material notes this can continue to improve with age even after opening. Because this is so concentrated, it will probably take us both American holidays and into next year to finish the bottle. I will update my tasting notes as additional pours are consumed.

An interesting tasting experience with my father who was born a few years before this wine. I am glad to have tried it, but I do not see myself loading up on these bottlings after the two bottles we have (one started) are consumed.
