My Birthday 2015 (Pine Green): Pop and poured. Drank over 1 hour. Appearance is clear, deep gold colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of burnt caramel, honey, dried apricots, kumquats, petroleum. Developed. On the palate, sweet, high acidity, medium alcohol, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of burnt caramel, honey, kumquats, dried apricots. Long finish. Good quality Sauternes. Past its best as the fruit intensity seems to be fading and the acidity not supporting the sweetness as well as it should. Drink up.

Jim & Joe's Burgundy Lunch (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Dry apricot with good depth. Moderate sweetness, low botrytis, good acidity, which struck me as an unusual combination of features. Very enjoyable.
