Friday, June 5, 2015 - Drank with apricot soufflé as part of very good lunch so maybe slightly biased but the wine is sensational, it's not cloying as some sweet wines can be, very pure crystal clean flavour. The best Sauternes I've had, including the few y'quem I've had (not that many in fairness!) and for that matter the best pudding wine I've had, I couldn't fault the wine, flawless. Would equally go with fois gras and rich pate. I'll be adding to my cellar if I can find any at a sensible price. I believe the current release is 1990, it's obviously a labour of love.
