Very very dark and powerful. Big and LONG. A touch of burnt caramel but this is dominated by deep and focused pink grapefruit taste. Not sticky at all, very refreshing. Would love to drink this alongside a bowl of forest berries (with no cream). Very pure, focused and memorable. Will hold for ages. Drink to 2100. 98pts

Stunning, with grilled pineapple, butter, toffee and mocha notes on the nose, fully integrated similar flavors, 40 second finish, and it improved in the glass. Still wonderful acidity. The only thing I could say is I would have liked a touch more richness in the mouth feel (acidity was refreshing), but this was a great old sauternes.

All-sauternes dinner (Jardiniere, SF): Badly corked. Couldn't even pour in glasses as it would contaminate nearby wines.
