  November 25, 2023 - Dryer than expected for a 40+ year old Wine, but still very good.

  November 3, 2022 - How can I not love this?
  After the '82 Cuvée Madame the other year, I expected a bleak specimen. Especially as this came in a half-bottle.
  
  But! My expectations proved to be misaligned with reality.
  
  This is really amazingly deep, rich, wide, lovely and has all the Botrytis, apricot and loveliness you could ever wish for.
  
  No need to feel that there is any urgency in popping this beautiful wine. Will last longer than most of us here today...

  June 19, 2022 - Turning 40 at Talula's; 6/18/2022-6/19/2022 (Talula's Table): Still drinking like a baby at 40 with good complexity. First sipped after a toast at the beginning of a cheese course, it drew oooo’s and aahhh’s that completely derailed whatever thoughts and sentiments were shared just moments before (i.e. the wine surpassed the words) - it's that good. It might not necessarily be "the best" dessert wine I've ever had (it could have used a bit more acidity), but the honeyed apricots and orange marmalade were still light enough to give that hauntingly long presence on the finish that the best Sauternes have. For me, it overshadowed the cheese and panna cotta dessert courses, stealing their thunder as the star of the final act.

  December 27, 2021 - Enjoyable bottle. Nice dried fruit and sweetness, lacks some depth and weight to round it out.

  May 10, 2020 - Drinking pretty well. A bit less acidity perhaps than some of the best vintages. It's got a nice depth of sweetness. Almost came across a touch much for me, but my sweet tooth has lowered a bit.
