Very rich and intense. Apricots and marmelade. Aftertaste lasts and lasts. Not sure this will make very old bones (in Sauternes terms) though, seems to lack the acidity for that. But very pleasant now.

Apricot, honey and a nice touch of citrus that gives this wine its freshness. Very elegant, and not overpowering. Whereas I usually stop after 1 glass, I could take a second and third one of this.... Blew away the 2001 Rieussec served next to it. Best young Sauternes ever tasted.

Pure and refined. Still too young, great life ahead. Cherries, roses and some mint. Ripe fruit, good minerality and soft tannins.
