Community Tasting Note

  • Chisato wrote: 85 points

    December 23, 2009 - Not decanted. From a half bottle ordered during dinner with the wife at Caprice

    Color: Light yellow, almost pale looking. Very young in appearance. Not terribly thick

    Nose: Loads of peaches, oranges, citrus fruits, honey and honey notes. Nose started to die down a bit after say 20 - 25 minutes in the glass. Not bad

    Palate: Still tasted like a young Sauternes. A bit disappointed in the texture (not as unctuous as I would expect for the 2001 vintage). Leans towards the refreshing spectrum rather than the thick and powerful side. Maybe more bottling age would help, but it isn't really in the same class as the top guys
