Golden-yellow, light colored (way lighter than some uploaded photos to the CT database for this wine); aromatic, citrus zest, white flowers; palate is medium bodied, elegant medium-plus acidity throughout, sweetness is present but elegant, medium alcohol, lighter fruits and less botrytis than average for sauternes; finish is medium length. This is lighter and more elegant than the 2006 Coutet, but also a bit less stuffing and complexity. Still a fantastic pairing with food and an excellent sauternes/barsac, but this is one I'll drink in the next decade instead of aging to age 50. 90-91 1-2 hours air: This develops a lovely spice, almost ginger on the palate. Early maturity notes which will continue to develop with a few more years.

Excellent wine albeit a bit monolithic profile and shy nose. Anyway beautifull balance between sweetness and acidity, full body and long aftertaste. I recomend ont only for dessert but also as pairng with roasted pork/poultry in sauce.

Golden. Apricot, pineapple, pear, saffron and orange peel. Full-bodied with a little too low acidity but still well balanced. Long, complex taste where saffron comes through even more. An excellent wine.

Medium bodied whine with flavours of medium fruit, light lemon and mango. Not so complex but tasty.

Beautiful medium weight with a great balance of honey and acid; drinking really nicely now but should evolve positively as well.
