  Nothing wrong with this one at this price point. Nice honey color and typical aromas and flavors of tropical fruit and lemon. The balance has settled down quite a bit since my first tasting a few years ago...

  Dinner at a Friend's (Encinitas): Dark gold. Candied nose, full of botrytis. Apricots, pineapple, and mangoes over floral and spice top notes. Full bodied and honeyed, with enough weight, depth, and complexity. This is broad but a little more acidity wouldn't hurt. Solid if unspectacular.

  Slightly pale golden color. Nose of petrol, soap, honey, pineapple. On the palate, a hot burnt sweet goupy mess. Alcoholic, overripe, out of whack.
  
  I don't think I like sauternes at this part of the price curve, and in general not crazy about the 2009 vintage. 14%.

  Friendly bouquet of honey, citrus, oilcloth, vanilla and peach. Balanced, viscous flavours with good sweetness, acidity and decent finish. Nice.
