May 18, 2008 - Sight: Orange-yellow color; low viscosity
Nose: Pears and creme brulee
Taste: Awesome. Lacking acidity...which is good - I guess I mean that the acidity is quite in balance. Pears and honeysuckle make their debut on the palate as well.
Overall: Excellent wine. 92-93 points. -

overall: a wonderful and evolved sauternes. Great length and feel with a very delicious creme brulee finish
