Community Tasting Note

• red_man Likes this wine: 93 points

  July 14, 2021 - burnished gold colour, wonderful, super complex nose with marked botrytis character, exceptional on the palate, burnt salt-caramel, distinctly warm year character but with perfect balance and sufficient acidity to balance the lusciousness, fruit and botrytis character in good taut balance, endless length, great Sauternes, just lovely

Personally I think it was perfect soon after opening and if anything slightly lost some of the necessary freshness with time - although it still remained great over the couple of hours until the shared half-bottle was finished.
