Robe doré. Nez très intéressant et complexe mêlant la noix, l'amande douce, le café La bouche est aussi riche, du vieux rhum, le la menthe, de l'anis, et une finale sur la réglisse. C'est assez puissant et hors norme.

Golden colour; honeyed nose with a fair whiff of botrytis - seems fresher than 27 years, possibly something to do with the ageing regime at Gilette, some complex nutty and tropical fruit coming through on aeration; viscous palate with good acidity, quite full and rich. A little heat on the finish. Macadamia nuts. Moderately long - a very particular style of Sauternes.
