Excellent… wine was kept in cellar… 12-14 Celsius and 65-85%RH…. enjoyed after 8 hours from opening… served chilled … 5-8 Celsius…. apricot, honey, not a specialist but it fulfilled characteristic expected flavors… everyone enjoyed it…. and the color was superbe…it matched the foie gras with perfection… so a really nice moment…

Parker peut bien lui mettre 83, pour moi ça n'a pas de sens... certains des vins qu'il place au-dessus de 90 (voir 93) ne sont pas meilleurs que ce vin-ci, voir inférieurs... Tout n'est pas simplement question de goût (sous-entendu de goût subjectif), ce vin a vraiment les qualités objectives d'un très bon vin (au-dessus de 90). Il exige il est vrai une longue aération et du temps pour s'en rendre compte. Miel, ananas, coco, épices, bonne acidité, longueur moyenne, du gras, chèvrefeuille, botrytys prononcé, riche et tonique, très très bon...

Well…..the good future was not as good (and long) as I expected in 2007. There is still some orange peel, but also a lot of bitterness and nutty flavors now. Still very acceptable but to be honest; a little past its prime. I nevertheless score the wine; 87.

This is more the elegant style of Sauternes. Good sweetness of apricots and pineapple and the acidity of citrus. A very complete wine with still a good future.

- Yellow gold color and aromas of honey and has flavours of orange blossom and fig - Outstanding!
