Community Tasting Note

    May 3, 2016 - Great sweet wine makes the brain go giddy. It brings a cheeky grin to the face. It makes you want more. None of these traits apply to this wine. This was bottle Nr 2, opened for my 50th birthday. The 1st was drunk at my 40th and I remember the layered texture, the weightlessness and the balance. I wrote then 'drink up this year' and I think I was correct. This is perfectly correct, is very rounded and is s lovely Sauterne. It's also dull and misses personality. I drank this with 3 novices, who like wine with a sweetness, but none of them had that 'wow' moment. Still young though and I'm sure this will evolve. 10 years to go for bottle Nr 3....
