Previous halves have been a bit past it. This had a soaked through cork that nearly fell into the bottle. However a lovely wine. Intense mature fruit, medium sweetness with apricot and barley sugar. Plenty of botrytis. Superb.

A nice aged sauternes. It does seem past its prime but enjoyable no less. Looking forward to enjoying my other 2 bottles of this over the coming years. Paid $55 at auction.

Nice marmalade flavour. Fading a bit and loss of sweetness but still decent.

Quite interesting. Peaches and cream. Hints of vanilla and stone fruits. Medium + weight, Medium + finish. An under appreciated success.
