  Medum bodied, traditional styling, natural cork holding up well.
  
  Followed over 5 days, while delicious at PnP the last day was the best and easily could have continued on. Nice blend of sweetness and acidity, both tree and tropic fruit elements, lemongrass, toasted wheat. Not as typically cloying or caramel-like as its bretheren from Sauternes. Good complexity and length, excellent balance.
  
  Ready today, but no rush to drink -- this will age decades more.

  25 years young. Fresh and vibrant right out of the gate. Sweet pear, apple & citrus with Chenin Blanc acidity dancing in the background. Finish goes on for miles. Really put together well.

  I had forgotten about this bottle for a while, which was unfortunate as I remembered getting it from WineBid with an ever so slightly elevated cork. I had pretty low expectations.
  
  It opened with a bit of a weird, almost oxidized note that took a while to blow off. It honestly reminded me of a premoxed white burg we had opened a few nights ago. There was bright acid and plenty of complexity underneath, but I never was quite able to shake the feeling that this was either a poorly stored bottle or over the hill.
  
  It's a shame as I've had good experiences with other late '90s Baumard QdC in the past few years.

  Strange nose at first, but that went away after a while. Tasty palate. 90 --> 92pts
