  Served with a range of desserts by friends at a dinner party. Just a brief note:
  Lovely colour and nose. Complex palate with apricots, citrus, gentle spice. A beautifully balanced wine with sweetness that was not cloying and with ideal levels of acidity. Long, with very good mouthfeel. A memorable wine.

  Excellent glas of sauternes from a prominent wine maker.Excellent year 1997. Ready to drink - will not develop but for sure keep its high quality next many years. Drink it at 12-14 degrees. Had it for five years in my cellar. Got it for 30$ - nice p/q ratio. Nose of sweet orange/citrus, lime, caramel, Sirup and cocus was what we found. Had a perfect amount of sweetnes( low scale) - so round and easy drinking. Perfect balance of acid and tannins. Enjoyed it with fois gras de canard, toast, phsyalis and balsamico. That was after some nice oyesters and Collet Champagne for starters. Ended the meal with lobsters and Nicolas Feuillatte Cuvee speciale 2000, Millesime. Great great new years evening. Happy new year.

  La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) - Canadian Grand Conseil 2011 (The Sutton Place Hotel): Medium gold in colour. Nose of baking spice, saffron, deep fried bananas and crème brûlée. Medium weight in the mouth but could use tad a more acidity. A nice, fairly easy drinking mature Sauternes that can be drunk now or held for a few more years. Very good.
