very much enjoyed this. At first aromas of turpentine was present but it went away with some aeration. Wine still has refreshing taste that balances well the sweetness....color does not give away its age at all

Fathers 60th Birthday; 8/31/2014-9/1/2014: Absolutely as good as d'Yquem '81 if not even better. Fresh elegant nose, full of honey, saffron, dried fruit, but with slightly more burned notes. There is also a very nice perfumed, flowery touch. Sweet, with great fresh acidity and a fantastic length. Slightly warm on the finish. Just proves to me again that Sauternes in general are under estimated, under priced and world class wines.

such a great bottle, still a vibrant wine with an amazing appeal. layers of orange peel and length. Could have waited 20-30 more years.

Wine Education Service - White Bordeaux (LSE): Light brown, the colour of autumn leaves.
Delicious cheesy nose.
Delicious, too sweet, certainly not past it.
