June 19, 2021 - "Re-Entry" Party - No more Social Distancing! with Joe/Wendy/Harry/Anne/David/Andrea/Jim D/Anna/Bill/Ashley (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): With fruits and dessert, my last 2 375ml bottles from this vintage. Chilled, PnP.
Consistent with prior notes:"Gorgeous gold/chestnut color. Nose showing candied citrus, must/botrytis, honey, figs. Sweet and viscous palate of apricot, mango, honey, baked peach, creme brulee. Full body, long and layered finish...."
Great showing, color and nose are really notable at this point. Going strong, still has a good arc in front of it -

September 16, 2020 - With Manoj and Neeta. From a 375, bottles purchased at release during a trip to Far Niente...in my cellar since. Nicely chilled, PnP, drank over an hour.
Gorgeous gold/chestnut color. Nose showing candied citrus, must/botrytis, honey, figs. Sweet and viscous palate of apricot, mango, honey, baked peach, creme brulee. Full body, long and layered finish.
Really great on this evening. Nicely aged, layered and complex, age has done it well. Not surprisingly, packed with layered fruits. Very nice now, well stored bottled have another 10+(?) years. Always a crowd pleaser, glad I have a few more1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 18, 2020 - From a 750mL. Orange and apricot marmalade, honey and finished on the palate in a similar fashion; not as intense with alcohol and honey as more recent vintages as it has matured substantially. Wonderful but not sure this can compete with top-tier sauternes. Would drink it repeatedly however.
