  Très joli nez sur l'écorce d'orange et l'abricot. Bouche qui manque de puissance et longeur

  Maybe below the everage level of the class. Lacks both acidity and sweetness. Pity.
  
  闻起来除了贵腐酒常见的味道以外还有一股子芥末味儿，区别于生姜，大概也是贵腐的味道。酸度和甜度都不太行了，买的时候先查了分数，本来也没报期待，就这样吧。

  Good quality Sauternes with light gold color, the nose is reasonably intense, showing good complexity of sultana, orange peel, apricot, honey, cedar and honeysuckle. Medium sweet, it has a nice acidity supporting a good refreshing palate of reasonable concentration of apricot, toast, honey and caramel, orange marmalade and honeysuckle. It is an easy-drinking dessert wine which can be drunk without accompanying food. With a reasonable finish, it is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 2-3 years.

  There isn’t enough sweetness here to balance the quite prominent acidity this wine has. Even if the mouthfeel at first gives a somewhat nice impression of a Sauternes, the aftertaste is weirdly almost dry and not at all pleasant. Not worthy of anybody’s attention.

  Mid Sep 2008: exotic fruits, honey; gorgeous interplay of acid and sweetness on the palate.
  
  Served to Confit de Canard avec Brioche.
