4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Mike's & LA's): Light honey gold color. Apricot and honey notes follow through on the palate. Decent finish with nice underlying acidity. Not particularly complex, but tasty.

Most Sauternes are good and this bottle was no exception. Yet like other tasters I was surprised this bottle didn't have more character after 10 years. It was just a little flat. Apricot and vinyl (I mean vinyl in a positive way--that's just what I taste) abound.

We've popped a dozen bottles over the years. It's maintained well, but doesn't seem to be developing any additional complexity that we've observed in other Sauternes. Goes well with desserts but nothing notable on its own. Great value

My last bottle. This is more of an earlier drinking Sauternes. Consistent notes as before. 88 points
