Decent little Sauternes with a big château - this is fully mature but will keep. But I suggest drinking it now as 1999 won’t deliver much more pleasure

Still the same impression as described on 12/25/2016, this time a very good companion with cheese, maybe a bit more coloured, but again very balanced and nothing 'too'; could be my last bottle.

Belle couleur caramel. Des saveurs de pain d’épices, de caramel (coca-cola ?) d’amande. Grande longueur. Aucun regret d’avoir acheté par hasard il y a bientôt vingt ans.

Four days later after my previous note the wine (the last glass) was even more expressive with more orange confite, more sweetness and more bitters to compensate; lovely and lively wine.

Very good, no heavyweight, but the wine has nearly everything you want to find in a sauternes; orange confit, fresh acidity, a hint of wax, nice bitters and a balance between sweetness, the citrus and the bitters, refined aftertaste. Missing some complexity to gain more points.
