Drank a small glass over about 45 minutes. This is elegant and structured. While remaining effervescent, there is a round richness that I usually don't get from a real white Bordeaux.
Pop and pour, drank a good sized glass over 1.5 hours. This wine is polished, with showy tasty red to black fruit and silky tannins. I was surprised at how resolved it is. It's' a questionable value but certainly a nice wine.
Another bottle a month after the last time I had this. This is a phenomenal and balanced Sauternes. There is a delicate and refreshing balance to it, its quite lightweight.

Purchased recently and locally. The minerality on these 24X Champagnes is impressive. Apple, pear, peach, chalk and toast.
