(Pierre Bise Quarts de Chaume) This was good but my note will show bias as I hate drinking desert wine. It is fun to taste and spit out but to drink and swallow I cannot. Even if it has the proper balancing acidity like this one did they are still too overwhelming for my fragile palate. Initially it was served too warm but once it cooled down it had lovely acidity, an icing-like texture and deep flavors of apricot and a long perfectly delineated finish.

From a 5 star Michael Broadbent vintage, and one of the top three Quarts de Chaume producers, this as other notes suggest is mahogany coloured and luscious. I wonder how well this 50cl had been stored as it was perhaps less incisive than I'd hoped and probably at its peak. Delicious of course but not immortal on this showing.

Pours bronze in glass. Sweet honey on nose and palate. Balanced, not cloying, still fresh at almost 25 years. Luscious.

Double Blind Virtual tasting (Chicagoland IL): Double blind. I thought this obviously (!) Sauternes with dried apricot, lots of energy and sneaky good length. Good+ now, possible (?) upside.

Thick and viscous. Mahogany color. Lots of botrytis on nose. But not on honeyed palate. Tastes like a cross between mature sauternes and sweet German riesling. Integrated acidity keeps this balanced and lively.
